HOW MANY VOLVO 850 TDI ARE LEFT?

There are 16 VOLVO 850 TDI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 42 VOLVO 850 TDI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 850 TDI was highest during 2000 Q4 (360). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 302 (84%) VOLVO 850 TDI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q2 the number of VOLVO 850 TDI 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 has fallen by 88. Licensed models have fallen by 96 and the SORNed total has increased by 8.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 17 VOLVO 850 TDI models. Taxed models have declined by 16 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

72% of the remaining 58 VOLVO 850 TDI in the UK are currently off the road.
