HOW MANY VOLVO 240 DL ARE LEFT?

There are 85 VOLVO 240 DL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 206 VOLVO 240 DL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 240 DL was highest during 1994 Q4 (16,153). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 15,862 (98%) VOLVO 240 DL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of VOLVO 240 DL 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 240 DL has fallen by 75. Licensed models have fallen by 101 and the SORNed total has increased by 26.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 22 VOLVO 240 DL models. Taxed models have declined by 25 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

71% of the remaining 291 VOLVO 240 DL in the UK are currently off the road.
