HOW MANY MCC SMART ARE LEFT?

There are 2,033 MCC SMART left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3,210 MCC SMART that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MCC SMART was highest during 2004 Q4 (16,232). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 10,989 (68%) MCC SMART have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of MCC SMART 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 MCC SMART has fallen by 6,292. Licensed models have fallen by 7,912 and the SORNed total has increased by 1,620.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2,859 MCC SMART models. Taxed models have declined by 2,829 and the SORNed total has fallen by 30.

61% of the remaining 5,243 MCC SMART in the UK are currently off the road.
