HOW MANY VOLVO S40 D S ARE LEFT?

There are 127 VOLVO S40 D S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 227 VOLVO S40 D S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO S40 D S was highest during 2005 Q4 (2,838). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 2,484 (88%) VOLVO S40 D S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q3 the number of VOLVO S40 D S 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 D S has fallen by 1,608. Licensed models have fallen by 1,721 and the SORNed total has increased by 113.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 458 VOLVO S40 D S models. Taxed models have declined by 459 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

64% of the remaining 354 VOLVO S40 D S in the UK are currently off the road.
