HOW MANY VOLVO 740 GLE ARE LEFT?

There are 89 VOLVO 740 GLE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 270 VOLVO 740 GLE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 740 GLE was highest during 1994 Q4 (13,901). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 13,542 (97%) VOLVO 740 GLE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of VOLVO 740 GLE 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 GLE has fallen by 224. Licensed models have fallen by 227 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 54 VOLVO 740 GLE models. Taxed models have declined by 46 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

75% of the remaining 359 VOLVO 740 GLE in the UK are currently off the road.
