HOW MANY VOLVO 850 GLE ARE LEFT?

There are 14 VOLVO 850 GLE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 21 VOLVO 850 GLE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 GLE was highest during 2000 Q4 (433). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 398 (92%) VOLVO 850 GLE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of VOLVO 850 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.
