HOW MANY MECALAC TA3 ARE LEFT?

There are 15 MECALAC TA3 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 19 MECALAC TA3 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MECALAC TA3 was highest during 2024 Q4 (35). The number taxed topped out in 2019 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 1 (3%) MECALAC TA3 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q3 the number of MECALAC TA3 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 a total decline of 1 MECALAC TA3 models. Taxed models have declined by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

56% of the remaining 34 MECALAC TA3 in the UK are currently off the road.
