Mercedes-Benz 600: how many are still registered?
209still registered
Mercedes-Benz 600 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 6 recorded variants.
Most recorded on UK roads at once: 384 (1997 Q4) - 54.4% of that peak survives.
Disappearing at about 0.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 199 in 2030.
152 of the survivors (72.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year
All 209 surviving Mercedes-Benz 600 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 196 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars. Across every year, 26 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 88.0% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built.
