HOW MANY VOLVO 850 TDI SE ARE LEFT?

There are 6 VOLVO 850 TDI SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 23 VOLVO 850 TDI SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 TDI SE was highest during 1997 Q4 (168). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 139 (83%) VOLVO 850 TDI SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q3 the number of VOLVO 850 TDI 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 TDI SE has fallen by 33. Licensed models have fallen by 40 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6 VOLVO 850 TDI SE models. Taxed models have declined by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

79% of the remaining 29 VOLVO 850 TDI SE in the UK are currently off the road.
