HOW MANY FORD ESCORT FREEDOM ARE LEFT?

There are 11 FORD ESCORT FREEDOM left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 70 FORD ESCORT FREEDOM that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT FREEDOM was highest during 2000 Q4 (5,761). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 5,680 (99%) FORD ESCORT FREEDOM have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q2 the number of FORD ESCORT FREEDOM 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 FREEDOM has fallen by 151. Licensed models have fallen by 140 and the SORNed total has fallen by 11.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 21 FORD ESCORT FREEDOM models. Taxed models have declined by 15 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

86% of the remaining 81 FORD ESCORT FREEDOM in the UK are currently off the road.
