HOW MANY MBK NITRO Y050 ARE LEFT?

There are 13 MBK NITRO Y050 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 205 MBK NITRO Y050 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MBK NITRO Y050 was highest during 2004 Q4 (952). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 734 (77%) MBK NITRO Y050 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q2 the number of MBK NITRO Y050 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 MBK NITRO Y050 has fallen by 40. Licensed models have fallen by 57 and the SORNed total has increased by 17.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 16 MBK NITRO Y050 models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

94% of the remaining 218 MBK NITRO Y050 in the UK are currently off the road.
