FORD FOCUS Common

As of 2026 Q1, 985,581 FORD FOCUSs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,514,576 in 2014 Q3 — only 65% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 528,995 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 50,732 a year (5.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2039 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
