HOW MANY MAZDA MX 5 S ARE LEFT?

There are 1,137 MAZDA MX 5 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,258 MAZDA MX 5 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MAZDA MX 5 S was highest during 2001 Q4 (4,440). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,045 (46%) MAZDA MX 5 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of MAZDA MX 5 S that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of MAZDA MX 5 S has fallen by 1,384. Licensed models have fallen by 2,118 and the SORNed total has increased by 734.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 596 MAZDA MX 5 S models. Taxed models have declined by 653 and the SORNed total has increased by 57.

53% of the remaining 2,395 MAZDA MX 5 S in the UK are currently off the road.
