HOW MANY VOLVO S40 I ARE LEFT?

There are 124 VOLVO S40 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 223 VOLVO S40 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO S40 I was highest during 2001 Q4 (5,551). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2019 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 5,204 (94%) VOLVO S40 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q3 the number of VOLVO S40 I 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 I has fallen by 1,864. Licensed models have fallen by 1,884 and the SORNed total has increased by 20.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 426 VOLVO S40 I models. Taxed models have declined by 376 and the SORNed total has fallen by 50.

64% of the remaining 347 VOLVO S40 I in the UK are currently off the road.
