HOW MANY MUTT DESERT RACER ARE LEFT?

There are 24 MUTT DESERT RACER left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 47 MUTT DESERT RACER that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MUTT DESERT RACER was highest during 2020 Q1 (82). The number taxed topped out in 2018 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 11 (13%) MUTT DESERT RACER have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q3 the number of MUTT DESERT RACER 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.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 MUTT DESERT RACER models. Taxed models have declined by 33 and the SORNed total has increased by 26.

66% of the remaining 71 MUTT DESERT RACER in the UK are currently off the road.
