HOW MANY FORD ESCORT BASE ARE LEFT?

There are 33 FORD ESCORT BASE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 81 FORD ESCORT BASE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT BASE was highest during 1994 Q4 (34,697). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 34,583 (100%) FORD ESCORT BASE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT BASE 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 FORD ESCORT BASE has gained 11. Licensed models have increased by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 8 FORD ESCORT BASE models. Taxed models have grown by 13 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

71% of the remaining 114 FORD ESCORT BASE in the UK are currently off the road.
