HOW MANY VOLVO 240 GL SR ARE LEFT?

There are 8 VOLVO 240 GL SR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 17 VOLVO 240 GL SR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 240 GL SR was highest during 1994 Q4 (479). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 454 (95%) VOLVO 240 GL SR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of VOLVO 240 GL SR 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 GL SR has fallen by 6. Licensed models have fallen by 14 and the SORNed total has increased by 8.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 VOLVO 240 GL SR models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

68% of the remaining 25 VOLVO 240 GL SR in the UK are currently off the road.
