HOW MANY FORD ORION L ARE LEFT?

There are 27 FORD ORION L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 157 FORD ORION L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION L was highest during 1994 Q4 (90,883). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 90,699 (100%) FORD ORION L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of FORD ORION L 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 L has fallen by 17. Licensed models have fallen by 44 and the SORNed total has increased by 27.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 4 FORD ORION L models. Taxed models have declined by 19 and the SORNed total has increased by 15.

85% of the remaining 184 FORD ORION L in the UK are currently off the road.
