HOW MANY BEDFORD ARE LEFT?

There are 6,147 BEDFORD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 7,395 BEDFORD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BEDFORD was highest during 1994 Q4 (263,086). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 249,544 (95%) BEDFORD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of BEDFORD 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 BEDFORD has fallen by 517. Licensed models have fallen by 2,066 and the SORNed total has increased by 1,549.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 328 BEDFORD models. Taxed models have declined by 392 and the SORNed total has increased by 64.

55% of the remaining 13,542 BEDFORD in the UK are currently off the road.
