HOW MANY FORD ORION LX I ARE LEFT?

There are 5 FORD ORION LX I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 63 FORD ORION LX I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION LX I was highest during 1994 Q4 (13,761). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 13,693 (100%) FORD ORION LX I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of FORD ORION LX I 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 LX I has fallen by 26. Licensed models have fallen by 28 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 8 FORD ORION LX I models. Taxed models have declined by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

88% of the remaining 68 FORD ORION LX I in the UK are currently off the road.
