HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN 1500 ARE LEFT?

There are 513 VOLKSWAGEN 1500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 475 VOLKSWAGEN 1500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN 1500 was highest during 1996 Q4 (1,173). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 185 (16%) VOLKSWAGEN 1500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN 1500 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 1500 has gained 131. Licensed models have increased by 50 and the SORNed total has increased by 81.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 VOLKSWAGEN 1500 models. Taxed models have declined by 14 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

52% of the surviving 988 VOLKSWAGEN 1500 in the UK are still on the road.
