HOW MANY VOLVO S40 1.8I ARE LEFT?

There are 45 VOLVO S40 1.8I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 98 VOLVO S40 1.8I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO S40 1.8I was highest during 2002 Q4 (5,665). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 5,522 (97%) VOLVO S40 1.8I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q3 the number of VOLVO S40 1.8I 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 S40 1.8I has fallen by 685. Licensed models have fallen by 658 and the SORNed total has fallen by 27.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 122 VOLVO S40 1.8I models. Taxed models have declined by 106 and the SORNed total has fallen by 16.

69% of the remaining 143 VOLVO S40 1.8I in the UK are currently off the road.
