HOW MANY MERCEDES 230TE ARE LEFT?

There are 7 MERCEDES 230TE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 18 MERCEDES 230TE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 230TE was highest during 1999 Q4 (371). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 346 (93%) MERCEDES 230TE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q2 the number of MERCEDES 230TE 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 230TE has fallen by 22. Licensed models have fallen by 18 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6 MERCEDES 230TE models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

72% of the remaining 25 MERCEDES 230TE in the UK are currently off the road.
