HOW MANY MECALAC TA ARE LEFT?

There are 1,184 MECALAC TA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,458 MECALAC TA that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more MECALAC TA, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2023 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2023 Q3 the number of MECALAC TA 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.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1,345 MECALAC TA models. Taxed models have grown by 392 and the SORNed total has increased by 953.

55% of the remaining 2,642 MECALAC TA in the UK are currently off the road.
