HOW MANY VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I ARE LEFT?

There are 5 VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 47 VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I was highest during 2002 Q4 (1,897). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2011 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 1,845 (97%) VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q4 the number of VOLVO S40 SE 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 SE 1.8I has fallen by 237. Licensed models have fallen by 234 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 38 VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I models. Taxed models have declined by 32 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

90% of the remaining 52 VOLVO S40 SE 1.8I in the UK are currently off the road.
