HOW MANY FORD ESCORT LX ARE LEFT?

There are 227 FORD ESCORT LX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,389 FORD ESCORT LX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT LX was highest during 1999 Q4 (211,345). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 209,729 (99%) FORD ESCORT LX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT LX 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 LX has fallen by 2,720. Licensed models have fallen by 2,510 and the SORNed total has fallen by 210.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 420 FORD ESCORT LX models. Taxed models have declined by 304 and the SORNed total has fallen by 116.

86% of the remaining 1,616 FORD ESCORT LX in the UK are currently off the road.
