HOW MANY VOLVO 850 SE ARE LEFT?

There are 114 VOLVO 850 SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 202 VOLVO 850 SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 SE was highest during 2000 Q4 (6,808). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 6,492 (95%) VOLVO 850 SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q4 the number of VOLVO 850 SE 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 SE has fallen by 620. Licensed models have fallen by 607 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 145 VOLVO 850 SE models. Taxed models have declined by 127 and the SORNed total has fallen by 18.

64% of the remaining 316 VOLVO 850 SE in the UK are currently off the road.
