HOW MANY SYM SHARK 50 ARE LEFT?

There are 6 SYM SHARK 50 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 48 SYM SHARK 50 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SYM SHARK 50 was highest during 2004 Q4 (224). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 170 (76%) SYM SHARK 50 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q2 the number of SYM SHARK 50 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 SYM SHARK 50 has fallen by 22. Licensed models have fallen by 24 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 SYM SHARK 50 models. Taxed models have declined by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

89% of the remaining 54 SYM SHARK 50 in the UK are currently off the road.
