HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E ARE LEFT?

There are 66 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 172 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E was highest during 1994 Q4 (7,917). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 7,679 (97%) VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q1 the number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E 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 GOLF 4E has fallen by 36. Licensed models have fallen by 68 and the SORNed total has increased by 32.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 14 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E models. Taxed models have declined by 23 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

72% of the remaining 238 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 4E in the UK are currently off the road.
