There are 242 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 20V left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 502 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 20V that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 20V was highest during 2005 Q4 (12,237). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 11,493 (94%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 20V have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q3 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 20V 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.
