HOW MANY RENAULT 5 ARE LEFT?

There are 736 RENAULT 5 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2,873 RENAULT 5 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of RENAULT 5 was highest during 1994 Q4 (195,486). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 191,877 (98%) RENAULT 5 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of RENAULT 5 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 5 has fallen by 360. Licensed models have fallen by 853 and the SORNed total has increased by 493.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 121 RENAULT 5 models. Taxed models have declined by 133 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

80% of the remaining 3,609 RENAULT 5 in the UK are currently off the road.
