HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D ARE LEFT?

There are 21 VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 223 VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D in the UK was highest during 1996 Q4 (1,787). The number of taxed VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 1,543 (86%) VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D 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 LT 40D has fallen by 62. Licensed models have fallen by 102 and the SORNed total has increased by 40.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 28 VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D models. Taxed models have declined by 25 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

91% of the remaining 244 VOLKSWAGEN LT 40D in the UK are currently off the road.
