HOW MANY MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC ARE LEFT?

There are 1 MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 4 MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC was highest during 2003 Q4 (50). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 45 (90%) MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q1 the number of MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC 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 C240 CLASSIC has fallen by 17. Licensed models have fallen by 16 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 10 MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

80% of the remaining 5 MERCEDES C240 CLASSIC in the UK are currently off the road.
