HOW MANY VOLVO 850 T 5 ARE LEFT?

There are 24 VOLVO 850 T 5 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 54 VOLVO 850 T 5 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 T 5 was highest during 1997 Q4 (631). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 553 (88%) VOLVO 850 T 5 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q1 the number of VOLVO 850 T 5 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 T 5 has fallen by 31. Licensed models have fallen by 50 and the SORNed total has increased by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 VOLVO 850 T 5 models. Taxed models have declined by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

69% of the remaining 78 VOLVO 850 T 5 in the UK are currently off the road.
