HOW MANY VOLVO 142 S ARE LEFT?

There are 3 VOLVO 142 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1 VOLVO 142 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 142 S was highest during 1998 Q4 (9). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2014 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 5 (56%) VOLVO 142 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q2 the number of VOLVO 142 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 VOLVO 142 S has fallen by 0. Licensed models have increased by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 VOLVO 142 S models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

75% of the surviving 4 VOLVO 142 S in the UK are still on the road.
