HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS ARE LEFT?

There are 55 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 134 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS was highest during 1996 Q4 (3,543). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,354 (95%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q2 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS 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 GENESIS has fallen by 151. Licensed models have fallen by 168 and the SORNed total has increased by 17.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 49 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS models. Taxed models have declined by 36 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

71% of the remaining 189 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GENESIS in the UK are currently off the road.
