HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO L ARE LEFT?

There are 82 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 472 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO L was highest during 1996 Q4 (19,205). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 18,651 (97%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q1 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO 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 L has fallen by 1,577. Licensed models have fallen by 1,491 and the SORNed total has fallen by 86.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 257 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L models. Taxed models have declined by 209 and the SORNed total has fallen by 48.

85% of the remaining 554 VOLKSWAGEN POLO L in the UK are currently off the road.
