HOW MANY MERCEDES 230E ARE LEFT?

There are 12 MERCEDES 230E left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 11 MERCEDES 230E that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 230E was highest during 1994 Q4 (383). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 360 (94%) MERCEDES 230E have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q1 the number of MERCEDES 230E 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 230E has fallen by 10. Licensed models have fallen by 7 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 MERCEDES 230E models. Taxed models have grown by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

52% of the surviving 23 MERCEDES 230E in the UK are still on the road.
