HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L ARE LEFT?

There are 2 VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3 VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L in the UK was highest during 1996 Q4 (8). The number of taxed VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 3 (38%) VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN VARIANT 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.
