HOW MANY FORD ORION LX ARE LEFT?

There are 17 FORD ORION LX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 160 FORD ORION LX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION LX was highest during 1994 Q4 (54,949). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 54,772 (100%) FORD ORION LX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q3 the number of FORD ORION 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 ORION LX has fallen by 36. Licensed models have fallen by 50 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 19 FORD ORION LX models. Taxed models have declined by 11 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

90% of the remaining 177 FORD ORION LX in the UK are currently off the road.
