HOW MANY VOLVO 480 SE ARE LEFT?

There are 6 VOLVO 480 SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 12 VOLVO 480 SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 480 SE was highest during 1996 Q4 (169). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 151 (89%) VOLVO 480 SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q1 the number of VOLVO 480 SE 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 480 SE has fallen by 3. Licensed models have fallen by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 VOLVO 480 SE models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

67% of the remaining 18 VOLVO 480 SE in the UK are currently off the road.
