HOW MANY RENAULT 21 ARE LEFT?

There are 42 RENAULT 21 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 434 RENAULT 21 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of RENAULT 21 was highest during 1994 Q4 (99,752). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 99,276 (100%) RENAULT 21 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of RENAULT 21 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 RENAULT 21 has fallen by 166. Licensed models have fallen by 145 and the SORNed total has fallen by 21.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 31 RENAULT 21 models. Taxed models have declined by 27 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

91% of the remaining 476 RENAULT 21 in the UK are currently off the road.
