HOW MANY VDL BOVA ARE LEFT?

There are 15 VDL BOVA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5 VDL BOVA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VDL BOVA was highest during 2018 Q2 (23). The number taxed topped out in 2016 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 3 (13%) VDL BOVA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q2 the number of VDL BOVA 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 VDL BOVA has fallen by 3. Licensed models have fallen by 8 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 0 VDL BOVA models. Taxed models have grown by 11 and the SORNed total has fallen by 11.

75% of the surviving 20 VDL BOVA in the UK are still on the road.
