HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C ARE LEFT?

There are 251 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 696 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C was highest during 1994 Q4 (37,626). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 36,679 (97%) VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C 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 C has gained 76. Licensed models have fallen by 46 and the SORNed total has increased by 122.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 20 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C models. Taxed models have grown by 56 and the SORNed total has fallen by 36.

73% of the remaining 947 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF C in the UK are currently off the road.
