HOW MANY OPTARE SOLO M950 ARE LEFT?

There are 7 OPTARE SOLO M950 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 6 OPTARE SOLO M950 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of OPTARE SOLO M950 was highest during 2016 Q2 (21). The number taxed topped out in 2016 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 8 (38%) OPTARE SOLO M950 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q2 the number of OPTARE SOLO M950 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 OPTARE SOLO M950 has fallen by 8. Licensed models have fallen by 13 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6 OPTARE SOLO M950 models. Taxed models have declined by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

54% of the surviving 13 OPTARE SOLO M950 in the UK are still on the road.
