HOW MANY UVM ARE LEFT?

There are 0 UVM left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 6 UVM that are currently SORNED.

The total number of UVM was highest during 2009 Q1 (13). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 7 (54%) UVM have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q1 the number of UVM 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 UVM has fallen by 3. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 UVM models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

100% of the remaining 6 UVM in the UK are currently off the road.
