There are 3,466 MG MIDGET 1500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2,923 MG MIDGET 1500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MG MIDGET 1500 was highest during 2022 Q1 (6,447). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 58 (1%) MG MIDGET 1500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of MG MIDGET 1500 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 1500 has gained 505. Licensed models have increased by 1,063 and the SORNed total has fallen by 558.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 105 MG MIDGET 1500 models. Taxed models have grown by 500 and the SORNed total has fallen by 395.
