HOW MANY MERCEDES C180 ARE LEFT?

There are 136 MERCEDES C180 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 316 MERCEDES C180 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES C180 was highest during 2002 Q4 (5,000). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,548 (91%) MERCEDES C180 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q3 the number of MERCEDES C180 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 C180 has fallen by 1,004. Licensed models have fallen by 1,036 and the SORNed total has increased by 32.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 251 MERCEDES C180 models. Taxed models have declined by 219 and the SORNed total has fallen by 32.

70% of the remaining 452 MERCEDES C180 in the UK are currently off the road.
