HOW MANY VOLVO V40 DS ARE LEFT?

There are 44 VOLVO V40 DS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 114 VOLVO V40 DS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLVO V40 DS was highest during 2004 Q4 (1,676). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,518 (91%) VOLVO V40 DS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q4 the number of VOLVO V40 DS 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 V40 DS has fallen by 905. Licensed models have fallen by 942 and the SORNed total has increased by 37.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 201 VOLVO V40 DS models. Taxed models have declined by 190 and the SORNed total has fallen by 11.

72% of the remaining 158 VOLVO V40 DS in the UK are currently off the road.
