HOW MANY VOLVO 740 GL ARE LEFT?

There are 179 VOLVO 740 GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 471 VOLVO 740 GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 740 GL was highest during 1994 Q4 (25,407). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 24,757 (97%) VOLVO 740 GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of VOLVO 740 GL 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 has fallen by 362. Licensed models have fallen by 407 and the SORNed total has increased by 45.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 102 VOLVO 740 GL models. Taxed models have declined by 74 and the SORNed total has fallen by 28.

72% of the remaining 650 VOLVO 740 GL in the UK are currently off the road.
