HOW MANY MERCEDES 308D ARE LEFT?

There are 65 MERCEDES 308D left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 364 MERCEDES 308D that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 308D was highest during 1995 Q4 (10,262). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 9,833 (96%) MERCEDES 308D have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of MERCEDES 308D 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 has fallen by 140. Licensed models have fallen by 194 and the SORNed total has increased by 54.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 48 MERCEDES 308D models. Taxed models have declined by 35 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

85% of the remaining 429 MERCEDES 308D in the UK are currently off the road.
