HOW MANY VOLVO 221 ARE LEFT?

There are 34 VOLVO 221 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 28 VOLVO 221 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 221 was highest during 1994 Q4 (75). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 13 (17%) VOLVO 221 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of VOLVO 221 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 221 has gained 9. Licensed models have increased by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 8 VOLVO 221 models. Taxed models have grown by 4 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

55% of the surviving 62 VOLVO 221 in the UK are still on the road.
