HOW MANY VOLVO 850 S ARE LEFT?

There are 58 VOLVO 850 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 103 VOLVO 850 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 S was highest during 1999 Q4 (2,193). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 2,032 (93%) VOLVO 850 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of VOLVO 850 S 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 850 S has fallen by 221. Licensed models have fallen by 233 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 42 VOLVO 850 S models. Taxed models have declined by 48 and the SORNed total has increased by 6.

64% of the remaining 161 VOLVO 850 S in the UK are currently off the road.
