HOW MANY VOLVO 265 ARE LEFT?

There are 12 VOLVO 265 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 23 VOLVO 265 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 265 was highest during 1994 Q4 (3,467). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 3,432 (99%) VOLVO 265 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q3 the number of VOLVO 265 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 265 has fallen by 0. Licensed models have increased by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 VOLVO 265 models. Taxed models have grown by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

66% of the remaining 35 VOLVO 265 in the UK are currently off the road.
