Choose a model year to see the list price and an indicative used-car value today. Based on official OFV list prices (2011–2017), assuming 15 000 km per year. Cars typically lose the most value in the first few years, then depreciation slows — it's not a fixed amount each year.

By model year

Each row is one model year: approval rate, how often dangerous and major defects appear, and how many inspections sit behind the numbers.

Year	Pass rate	Dangerous defects	Major defects	Inspections
2017	55.8%-12.9%	2.1 %+1.2%	43.2 %+12.1%	95
2016	52.0%-12.0%	2.4 %+1.3%	47.1 %+11.4%	123
2015	48.1%-12.0%	3.4 %+2.2%	51.5 %+11.8%	262
2014	42.9%-10.7%	1.8 %+0.1%	57.1 %+10.9%	170
2013	47.2%-3.3%	0.5 %-1.4%	52.8 %+3.5%	648
2012	43.3%-1.3%	2.4 %+0.1%	56.2 %+1.1%	633
2003	3.7%-20.7%	3.7 %-0.6%	96.3 %+20.7%	27

Dangerous defects: failed inspection. Major defects: serious remarks—not the same as dangerous.

By mileage

The same metrics grouped by mileage band—approval, defects and counts per bracket—so you can sanity-check patterns against how far your car has driven.

Km range	Pass rate	Dangerous defects	Major defects	Inspections
< 50,000 km	63.3%-16.9%	2.3 %+1.9%	36.3 %+16.6%	215
50–100k km	47.0%-21.3%	1.5 %+0.5%	52.6 %+21.1%	830
100–150k km	40.5%-12.0%	2.5 %+0.6%	59.2 %+12.0%	687
150–200k km	32.8%-7.5%	0.8 %-2.0%	67.2 %+7.7%	241
200k+ km	35.6%+5.7%	3.4 %-0.5%	64.4 %-5.6%	59

Dangerous defects: failed inspection. Major defects: serious remarks—not the same as dangerous.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many Volkswagen cars are registered in Norway?

According to SSB (2025), 370,973 Volkswagen cars are registered in Norway (13.1% of all passenger cars). Volkswagen is the most-registered car brand in Norway. We use market data and inspection history when valuing your Volkswagen.

What is a Volkswagen Beetle worth?

Sonja lets dealers bid on a Volkswagen Beetle in a time-limited auction. The price is set by competition — photos and a self-declaration are the documentation. You choose whether to sell.

How much does it cost to use Sonja?

Using Sonja costs nothing: prep, review and the auction are free. We charge a fee from the buying dealer — you as the seller pay nothing. The offer applies to the specific car you enter in the form.

Do I have to drop the car off somewhere?

No. The car stays with you. We need photos and a few answers. If you accept the highest bid, we arrange collection.

How quickly does the auction start?

Finish photos and answers today, and the auction can start and end tomorrow. It normally starts the next weekday at 09:00 and runs the same day. Then you have the highest bid ready, and can in theory sell the car tomorrow. You have plenty of time to accept or decline.

Which cars can I list?

Most Volkswagen Beetle cars can be listed in the auction. We assess year, mileage and condition for the specific car — submit the form and we will help you next.

What is the difference from a private sale?

A private sale means listing the car, filtering inquiries and having strangers visit your home for viewings. With Sonja, dealers bid in a time-limited auction. You choose whether to sell — at no cost if you decline.

How much did the Volkswagen Beetle cost new?

We show indicative list prices (new) for the Volkswagen Beetle from OFV on this page. The new list price is one of several reference points dealers use when assessing what the used car is worth today.

Does Sonja use EU inspection data for the Volkswagen Beetle in its assessment?

Yes. Historical PKK data (periodic vehicle inspection) for the Volkswagen Beetle is one of several factors dealers look at. It gives a clearer picture of the model's typical technical condition over time.

What do I need to do to sell my car?

Enter your registration number and mileage. We pull technical and ownership data from the road authority automatically. Then you prepare the car at home with photos and a self-declaration. Finish those two steps, and the auction can start and end tomorrow — then you have the highest bid ready.
