HOW MANY MERCEDES 300D LWB ARE LEFT?

There are 2 MERCEDES 300D LWB left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3 MERCEDES 300D LWB that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 300D LWB was highest during 1994 Q4 (21). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 16 (76%) MERCEDES 300D LWB have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q1 the number of MERCEDES 300D LWB 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 LWB has fallen by 1. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 MERCEDES 300D LWB models. Taxed models have grown by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

60% of the remaining 5 MERCEDES 300D LWB in the UK are currently off the road.
