HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS ARE LEFT?

There are 15 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 30 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS was highest during 1994 Q4 (4,251). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 4,206 (99%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS 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 GLS has gained 10. Licensed models have increased by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 5 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS models. Taxed models have grown by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

67% of the remaining 45 VOLKSWAGEN POLO GLS in the UK are currently off the road.
