HOW MANY MG ZR ARE LEFT?

There are 831 MG ZR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3,255 MG ZR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MG ZR was highest during 2005 Q4 (34,774). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 30,688 (88%) MG ZR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of MG ZR 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 ZR has fallen by 11,629. Licensed models have fallen by 11,947 and the SORNed total has increased by 318.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,752 MG ZR models. Taxed models have declined by 1,276 and the SORNed total has fallen by 476.

80% of the remaining 4,086 MG ZR in the UK are currently off the road.
