HOW MANY MERCEDES 190E ARE LEFT?

There are 498 MERCEDES 190E left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,286 MERCEDES 190E that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 190E was highest during 1994 Q4 (17,816). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 16,032 (90%) MERCEDES 190E have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of MERCEDES 190E 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 MERCEDES 190E has fallen by 441. Licensed models have fallen by 750 and the SORNed total has increased by 309.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 120 MERCEDES 190E models. Taxed models have declined by 200 and the SORNed total has increased by 80.

72% of the remaining 1,784 MERCEDES 190E in the UK are currently off the road.
