HOW MANY VOLVO 940 ARE LEFT?

There are 2,146 VOLVO 940 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2,735 VOLVO 940 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO 940 was highest during 1999 Q4 (47,994). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 43,113 (90%) VOLVO 940 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of VOLVO 940 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 has fallen by 4,219. Licensed models have fallen by 4,944 and the SORNed total has increased by 725.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,290 VOLVO 940 models. Taxed models have declined by 1,321 and the SORNed total has increased by 31.

56% of the remaining 4,881 VOLVO 940 in the UK are currently off the road.
