FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 145 FORD TRANSIT CONNECTs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 160 in 2018 Q1 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 15 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (1.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2094 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the FORD TRANSIT CONNECT is rarer than 55% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.
