HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI ARE LEFT?

There are 3 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 24 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI was highest during 2002 Q4 (292). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 265 (91%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI 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 L SDI has fallen by 78. Licensed models have fallen by 86 and the SORNed total has increased by 8.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 12 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI models. Taxed models have declined by 13 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

89% of the remaining 27 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L SDI in the UK are currently off the road.
