HOW MANY FORD ORION ARE LEFT?

There are 220 FORD ORION left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,442 FORD ORION that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION was highest during 1994 Q4 (457,129). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 455,467 (100%) FORD ORION have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q4 the number of FORD ORION 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 ORION has fallen by 249. Licensed models have fallen by 387 and the SORNed total has increased by 138.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 86 FORD ORION models. Taxed models have declined by 96 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

87% of the remaining 1,662 FORD ORION in the UK are currently off the road.
