HOW MANY MECALAC TA3S ARE LEFT?
There are 90 MECALAC TA3S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 134 MECALAC TA3S that are currently SORNED.
The total number of MECALAC TA3S was highest during 2022 Q1 (230). The number taxed topped out in 2020 Q1 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.
Since the total peaked, some 6 (3%) MECALAC TA3S have been scrapped or exported.
During 2020 Q4 the number of MECALAC TA3S 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 53 MECALAC TA3S models. Taxed models have declined by 15 and the SORNed total has increased by 68.
60% of the remaining 224 MECALAC TA3S in the UK are currently off the road.
