HOW MANY VOLVO 144 ARE LEFT?

There are 28 VOLVO 144 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 21 VOLVO 144 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 144 was highest during 1994 Q4 (121). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 72 (60%) VOLVO 144 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of VOLVO 144 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 144 has fallen by 12. Licensed models have fallen by 13 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 VOLVO 144 models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

57% of the surviving 49 VOLVO 144 in the UK are still on the road.
