HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS ARE LEFT?

There are 4 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 6 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,543). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,533 (99%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS 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 GLS has fallen by 4. Licensed models have fallen by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

60% of the remaining 10 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS in the UK are currently off the road.
