HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L ARE LEFT?

There are 7 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 44 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L was highest during 1996 Q4 (2,212). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,161 (98%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L 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 L has fallen by 56. Licensed models have fallen by 59 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L models. Taxed models have declined by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

86% of the remaining 51 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT L in the UK are currently off the road.
