HOW MANY VOLVO 480 ARE LEFT?

There are 138 VOLVO 480 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 618 VOLVO 480 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 480 was highest during 1995 Q4 (20,633). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 19,877 (96%) VOLVO 480 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of VOLVO 480 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 has fallen by 271. Licensed models have fallen by 315 and the SORNed total has increased by 44.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 96 VOLVO 480 models. Taxed models have declined by 72 and the SORNed total has fallen by 24.

82% of the remaining 756 VOLVO 480 in the UK are currently off the road.
