HOW MANY MERCEDES 300E ARE LEFT?

There are 2 MERCEDES 300E left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5 MERCEDES 300E that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 300E was highest during 2001 Q4 (57). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 50 (88%) MERCEDES 300E have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of MERCEDES 300E 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 300E has fallen by 2. Licensed models have fallen by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 MERCEDES 300E models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

71% of the remaining 7 MERCEDES 300E in the UK are currently off the road.
