HOW MANY MERCEDES 308D SWB ARE LEFT?

There are 5 MERCEDES 308D SWB left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 20 MERCEDES 308D SWB that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 308D SWB was highest during 2000 Q4 (258). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2011 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 233 (90%) MERCEDES 308D SWB have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of MERCEDES 308D SWB 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 308D SWB has fallen by 19. Licensed models have fallen by 18 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 4 MERCEDES 308D SWB models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

80% of the remaining 25 MERCEDES 308D SWB in the UK are currently off the road.
