HOW MANY VOLVO S40 XS ARE LEFT?

There are 100 VOLVO S40 XS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 311 VOLVO S40 XS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO S40 XS was highest during 2002 Q4 (9,836). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 9,425 (96%) VOLVO S40 XS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q3 the number of VOLVO S40 XS 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 XS has fallen by 2,345. Licensed models have fallen by 2,363 and the SORNed total has increased by 18.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 392 VOLVO S40 XS models. Taxed models have declined by 368 and the SORNed total has fallen by 24.

76% of the remaining 411 VOLVO S40 XS in the UK are currently off the road.
