HOW MANY MG MIDGET ARE LEFT?

There are 9,360 MG MIDGET left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5,931 MG MIDGET that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MG MIDGET was highest during 2024 Q1 (15,313). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 22 (0%) MG MIDGET have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of MG MIDGET 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 MG MIDGET has gained 1,276. Licensed models have increased by 1,650 and the SORNed total has fallen by 374.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 316 MG MIDGET models. Taxed models have grown by 557 and the SORNed total has fallen by 241.

61% of the surviving 15,291 MG MIDGET in the UK are still on the road.
