HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL ARE LEFT?

There are 55 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 268 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL was highest during 1996 Q4 (34,023). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 33,700 (99%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL 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 PASSAT CL has fallen by 363. Licensed models have fallen by 345 and the SORNed total has fallen by 18.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 90 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL models. Taxed models have declined by 56 and the SORNed total has fallen by 34.

83% of the remaining 323 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CL in the UK are currently off the road.
