HOW MANY MERCEDES 300D DIESEL ARE LEFT?

There are 27 MERCEDES 300D DIESEL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 77 MERCEDES 300D DIESEL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 300D DIESEL was highest during 1995 Q4 (615). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 511 (83%) MERCEDES 300D DIESEL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q2 the number of MERCEDES 300D DIESEL 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 300D DIESEL has fallen by 18. Licensed models have fallen by 33 and the SORNed total has increased by 15.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 14 MERCEDES 300D DIESEL models. Taxed models have declined by 7 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

74% of the remaining 104 MERCEDES 300D DIESEL in the UK are currently off the road.
