HOW MANY VOLVO 240 ARE LEFT?

There are 1,092 VOLVO 240 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,985 VOLVO 240 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 240 was highest during 1994 Q4 (83,261). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 80,184 (96%) VOLVO 240 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of VOLVO 240 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 has fallen by 829. Licensed models have fallen by 1,302 and the SORNed total has increased by 473.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 275 VOLVO 240 models. Taxed models have declined by 396 and the SORNed total has increased by 121.

65% of the remaining 3,077 VOLVO 240 in the UK are currently off the road.
