HOW MANY MERCEDES 408D ARE LEFT?

There are 9 MERCEDES 408D left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 10 MERCEDES 408D that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 408D was highest during 1998 Q4 (245). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 226 (92%) MERCEDES 408D have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q1 the number of MERCEDES 408D 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 408D has fallen by 1. Licensed models have fallen by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 MERCEDES 408D models. Taxed models have grown by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

53% of the remaining 19 MERCEDES 408D in the UK are currently off the road.
