HOW MANY MAZDA RX 8 ARE LEFT?

There are 2,226 MAZDA RX 8 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5,614 MAZDA RX 8 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MAZDA RX 8 was highest during 2009 Q2 (23,825). The number taxed topped out in 2009 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 15,985 (67%) MAZDA RX 8 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q4 the number of MAZDA RX 8 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 RX 8 has fallen by 9,660. Licensed models have fallen by 12,112 and the SORNed total has increased by 2,452.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2,620 MAZDA RX 8 models. Taxed models have declined by 2,276 and the SORNed total has fallen by 344.

72% of the remaining 7,840 MAZDA RX 8 in the UK are currently off the road.
