HOW MANY SETRA ARE LEFT?

There are 342 SETRA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 137 SETRA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SETRA was highest during 2016 Q2 (594). The number taxed topped out in 2014 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 115 (19%) SETRA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of SETRA 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 SETRA has fallen by 114. Licensed models have fallen by 241 and the SORNed total has increased by 127.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 SETRA models. Taxed models have grown by 206 and the SORNed total has fallen by 204.

71% of the surviving 479 SETRA in the UK are still on the road.
