HOW MANY TATA ARE LEFT?

There are 57 TATA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 518 TATA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TATA was highest during 2002 Q4 (4,243). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,668 (86%) TATA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of TATA 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 TATA has fallen by 489. Licensed models have fallen by 494 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 152 TATA models. Taxed models have declined by 85 and the SORNed total has fallen by 67.

90% of the remaining 575 TATA in the UK are currently off the road.
