HOW MANY FORD ESCORT DIESEL ARE LEFT?

There are 29 FORD ESCORT DIESEL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 652 FORD ESCORT DIESEL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT DIESEL was highest during 1995 Q4 (60,883). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 60,202 (99%) FORD ESCORT DIESEL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q2 the number of FORD ESCORT DIESEL 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 DIESEL has fallen by 275. Licensed models have fallen by 183 and the SORNed total has fallen by 92.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 59 FORD ESCORT DIESEL models. Taxed models have declined by 29 and the SORNed total has fallen by 30.

96% of the remaining 681 FORD ESCORT DIESEL in the UK are currently off the road.
