HOW MANY VOLVO 940 GL ARE LEFT?

There are 85 VOLVO 940 GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 140 VOLVO 940 GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 940 GL was highest during 1994 Q4 (4,417). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,192 (95%) VOLVO 940 GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of VOLVO 940 GL 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 940 GL has fallen by 216. Licensed models have fallen by 227 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 66 VOLVO 940 GL models. Taxed models have declined by 60 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

62% of the remaining 225 VOLVO 940 GL in the UK are currently off the road.
