HOW MANY VOLVO 850 TDI S ARE LEFT?

There are 7 VOLVO 850 TDI S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 13 VOLVO 850 TDI S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 TDI S was highest during 2001 Q4 (130). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 110 (85%) VOLVO 850 TDI S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q3 the number of VOLVO 850 TDI 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 TDI S has fallen by 31. Licensed models have fallen by 32 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

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

65% of the remaining 20 VOLVO 850 TDI S in the UK are currently off the road.
