HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS ARE LEFT?

There are 30 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 37 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS was highest during 1994 Q4 (3,265). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 3,198 (98%) VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS 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 LS has gained 14. Licensed models have increased by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 8 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS models. Taxed models have grown by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

55% of the remaining 67 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF LS in the UK are currently off the road.
