HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L ARE LEFT?

There are 178 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,126 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L was highest during 2001 Q4 (32,610). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 31,306 (96%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L 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 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L has fallen by 5,594. Licensed models have fallen by 5,315 and the SORNed total has fallen by 279.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 833 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L models. Taxed models have declined by 627 and the SORNed total has fallen by 206.

86% of the remaining 1,304 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.0 L in the UK are currently off the road.
