FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 142 FORD TRANSIT CONNECTs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads.

They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (1.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2082 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 56% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
