HOW MANY MBK ROCKET ARE LEFT?

There are 2 MBK ROCKET left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 36 MBK ROCKET that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MBK ROCKET was highest during 2001 Q4 (275). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 237 (86%) MBK ROCKET have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q4 the number of MBK ROCKET 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 ROCKET has fallen by 15. Licensed models have fallen by 19 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 4 MBK ROCKET models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

95% of the remaining 38 MBK ROCKET in the UK are currently off the road.
