HOW MANY VOLVO 240 GL ARE LEFT?

There are 266 VOLVO 240 GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 608 VOLVO 240 GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 240 GL was highest during 1994 Q4 (27,632). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 26,758 (97%) VOLVO 240 GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q3 the number of VOLVO 240 GL 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 has fallen by 221. Licensed models have fallen by 357 and the SORNed total has increased by 136.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 68 VOLVO 240 GL models. Taxed models have declined by 104 and the SORNed total has increased by 36.

70% of the remaining 874 VOLVO 240 GL in the UK are currently off the road.
