HOW MANY MERCEDES 208D SWB ARE LEFT?

There are 149 MERCEDES 208D SWB left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 531 MERCEDES 208D SWB that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 208D SWB was highest during 2000 Q4 (8,475). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 7,795 (92%) MERCEDES 208D SWB have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of MERCEDES 208D SWB 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 208D SWB has fallen by 673. Licensed models have fallen by 793 and the SORNed total has increased by 120.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 170 MERCEDES 208D SWB models. Taxed models have declined by 149 and the SORNed total has fallen by 21.
