HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI ARE LEFT?

There are 238 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 324 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI was highest during 2005 Q4 (3,250). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 2,688 (83%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q1 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO S 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 S SDI has fallen by 2,165. Licensed models have fallen by 2,330 and the SORNed total has increased by 165.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 754 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI models. Taxed models have declined by 697 and the SORNed total has fallen by 57.

58% of the remaining 562 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S SDI in the UK are currently off the road.
