MERCEDES CLC CLASS Uncommon

As of 2026 Q2, 9,371 MERCEDES CLC CLASSs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 13,756 in 2014 Q3 — only 68% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4,385 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 754 a year (8.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2034 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
