HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN POLO S TDI ARE LEFT?

There are 412 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S TDI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 426 VOLKSWAGEN POLO S TDI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO S TDI was highest during 2007 Q4 (4,649). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

During 2025 Q2 the number of VOLKSWAGEN POLO S TDI 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.
