HOW MANY VOLVO 740 ARE LEFT?

There are 641 VOLVO 740 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,797 VOLVO 740 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 740 was highest during 1994 Q4 (93,740). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 91,302 (97%) VOLVO 740 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of VOLVO 740 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 has fallen by 1,533. Licensed models have fallen by 1,660 and the SORNed total has increased by 127.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 393 VOLVO 740 models. Taxed models have declined by 384 and the SORNed total has fallen by 9.

74% of the remaining 2,438 VOLVO 740 in the UK are currently off the road.
