HOW MANY MCW METROCAB ARE LEFT?

There are 1 MCW METROCAB left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 14 MCW METROCAB that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MCW METROCAB was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,121). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,106 (99%) MCW METROCAB have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q3 the number of MCW METROCAB 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 MCW METROCAB has fallen by 0. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 MCW METROCAB models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

93% of the remaining 15 MCW METROCAB in the UK are currently off the road.
