HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL ARE LEFT?

There are 29 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 107 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL was highest during 1996 Q4 (12,917). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 12,781 (99%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q2 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL 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 GL has fallen by 156. Licensed models have fallen by 137 and the SORNed total has fallen by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 36 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL models. Taxed models have declined by 24 and the SORNed total has fallen by 12.

79% of the remaining 136 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GL in the UK are currently off the road.
