HOW MANY SONIK ARE LEFT?

There are 2 SONIK left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 365 SONIK that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SONIK was highest during 2011 Q1 (682). The number taxed topped out in 2010 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 315 (46%) SONIK have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q3 the number of SONIK 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 SONIK has fallen by 133. Licensed models have fallen by 168 and the SORNed total has increased by 35.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 43 SONIK models. Taxed models have declined by 19 and the SORNed total has fallen by 24.

99% of the remaining 367 SONIK in the UK are currently off the road.
