HOW MANY MERCEDES 400 ARE LEFT?

There are 1,124 MERCEDES 400 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,684 MERCEDES 400 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES 400 was highest during 1999 Q4 (10,769). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 7,961 (74%) MERCEDES 400 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of MERCEDES 400 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 400 has fallen by 253. Licensed models have fallen by 579 and the SORNed total has increased by 326.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 83 MERCEDES 400 models. Taxed models have declined by 33 and the SORNed total has fallen by 50.

60% of the remaining 2,808 MERCEDES 400 in the UK are currently off the road.
