HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S ARE LEFT?

There are 181 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 281 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S was highest during 2007 Q4 (5,326). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,864 (91%) VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S 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 S has fallen by 1,980. Licensed models have fallen by 2,082 and the SORNed total has increased by 102.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 552 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S models. Taxed models have declined by 543 and the SORNed total has fallen by 9.

61% of the remaining 462 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT S in the UK are currently off the road.
