HOW MANY VOLVO 740 GL SR ARE LEFT?

There are 20 VOLVO 740 GL SR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 51 VOLVO 740 GL SR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 740 GL SR was highest during 1994 Q4 (4,082). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,011 (98%) VOLVO 740 GL SR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q3 the number of VOLVO 740 GL SR 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 740 GL SR has fallen by 76. Licensed models have fallen by 66 and the SORNed total has fallen by 10.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 25 VOLVO 740 GL SR models. Taxed models have declined by 15 and the SORNed total has fallen by 10.

72% of the remaining 71 VOLVO 740 GL SR in the UK are currently off the road.
