HOW MANY PROTON COMPACT ARE LEFT?

There are 15 PROTON COMPACT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 94 PROTON COMPACT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of PROTON COMPACT was highest during 2000 Q4 (2,374). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 2,265 (95%) PROTON COMPACT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q1 the number of PROTON COMPACT 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 PROTON COMPACT has fallen by 168. Licensed models have fallen by 174 and the SORNed total has increased by 6.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 26 PROTON COMPACT models. Taxed models have declined by 25 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

86% of the remaining 109 PROTON COMPACT in the UK are currently off the road.
