The Volkswagen BEETLE has been a familiar sight on UK roads for years, with 41,986 still licensed - down 7.2% in the past year. It is no longer sold new, so the 191 registered last year are scarce. The fleet is overwhelmingly petrol (77%), with most running a 1.0-1.6L engine. Most date from the 2010-2014 era.
