HOW MANY FORD ORION DL ARE LEFT?

There are 1 FORD ORION DL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 8 FORD ORION DL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION DL was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,225). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,216 (99%) FORD ORION DL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q1 the number of FORD ORION DL 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 DL has fallen by 2. Licensed models have fallen by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 FORD ORION DL models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

89% of the remaining 9 FORD ORION DL in the UK are currently off the road.
