HOW MANY FORD ESCORT L D ARE LEFT?

There are 1 FORD ESCORT L D left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 52 FORD ESCORT L D that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT L D was highest during 1996 Q4 (5,442). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 5,389 (99%) FORD ESCORT L D have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT L D 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 L D has fallen by 33. Licensed models have fallen by 26 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 8 FORD ESCORT L D models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

98% of the remaining 53 FORD ESCORT L D in the UK are currently off the road.
