HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER ARE LEFT?

There are 102 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 334 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER was highest during 1995 Q4 (11,512). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 11,076 (96%) VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER 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 RYDER has fallen by 200. Licensed models have fallen by 260 and the SORNed total has increased by 60.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 62 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER models. Taxed models have declined by 57 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

77% of the remaining 436 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF RYDER in the UK are currently off the road.
