HOW MANY MERCEDES 230 E ARE LEFT?

There are 123 MERCEDES 230 E left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 185 MERCEDES 230 E that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 230 E was highest during 1994 Q4 (3,329). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,021 (91%) MERCEDES 230 E have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of MERCEDES 230 E 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 230 E has fallen by 43. Licensed models have fallen by 62 and the SORNed total has increased by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 13 MERCEDES 230 E models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

60% of the remaining 308 MERCEDES 230 E in the UK are currently off the road.
