HOW MANY PROTON PERSONA ARE LEFT?

There are 134 PROTON PERSONA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 515 PROTON PERSONA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of PROTON PERSONA was highest during 2000 Q4 (35,344). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 34,695 (98%) PROTON PERSONA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of PROTON PERSONA 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 PERSONA has fallen by 1,764. Licensed models have fallen by 1,745 and the SORNed total has fallen by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 389 PROTON PERSONA models. Taxed models have declined by 349 and the SORNed total has fallen by 40.

79% of the remaining 649 PROTON PERSONA in the UK are currently off the road.
