HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL TDI ARE LEFT?

There are 16 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL TDI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 179 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL TDI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL TDI was highest during 1997 Q4 (4,823). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

During 2016 Q2 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL TDI 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.
