HOW MANY MERCEDES 230 TE ARE LEFT?

There are 23 MERCEDES 230 TE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 55 MERCEDES 230 TE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 230 TE was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,558). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,480 (95%) MERCEDES 230 TE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q1 the number of MERCEDES 230 TE 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 TE has fallen by 19. Licensed models have fallen by 13 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.
