HOW MANY SAAB 09 MAY ARE LEFT?

There are 100 SAAB 09 MAY left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 180 SAAB 09 MAY that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SAAB 09 MAY was highest during 2004 Q4 (4,126). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,846 (93%) SAAB 09 MAY have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of SAAB 09 MAY 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 SAAB 09 MAY has fallen by 846. Licensed models have fallen by 855 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 222 SAAB 09 MAY models. Taxed models have declined by 200 and the SORNed total has fallen by 22.

64% of the remaining 280 SAAB 09 MAY in the UK are currently off the road.
