J-Rod Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Just did a quick search on the rather handy site for the Stagea to see how many others were kicking about at the mo and thought I'd check in on the status of the cousins of the recently saved VTR while I was there. Numbers have dropped from 27k on the road in 2010... to just 6.5k on the road this year!! Any other cars out there dropping like flies?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Kia Shuma's like mine seem to be going fast. 2300 in 2010 but only 337 now. Winter seems to wipe a good 80 ish off each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Was discussing this with FPB7 over a classy meal at the Trucker's Rest yesterday. All popular vehicles drop like flies. ADO16. Cortina and Sierra. Cavalier mk2. Xantia. Apparently, there are more P4 Rover 60s on UK roads than BX diesel estates#... # source: Freeman Automotive Research Tabulation, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisfan Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 As is commonly known How many left isnt accurate but can be used as an approximation.As has been said its all the common stuff that will disappear fast. Vauxhalls, fords, VWs and any mazda over 15 minutes old due to rust. According to HML there was 1.1k Stanza 1.6GL 5speeds in 2001 now 5.Datsun Bluebird is a bit different 197 in 2001 now 7. Must have been the rampant rot that killed off all those stanzas. Cavcraft and brickwall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Rod Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 yeah, not looking at it for 100% accuracy but it's interesting to me to see just which cars are disappearing at a rate of knots. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I must admit to being very sad and am often found studying the graphs on HML. they all tend to follow a similar profile but cheaper/ faster depreciating cars often have numbers that fall of a cliff face sooner. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 MK1 Focus's are starting to get chucked away, MK1 and MK2 Mondeo's are being binned at quite a rate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisbon_road Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 One alternative source of totally obsessive data is the Honest John Mot survey. It gives you the number of cars for a particular year that have passed the MOT and the milages. This tells me (for instance) that there are many more mid 90s Astras being tested than Escorts. And that the Astras have covered far higher milages. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Triumph Dolomite numbers stopped dropping a couple of years ago and are now fairly steady. The 1990s saw the demise of most of the survivors with there being over 4000 1300s registered in 1994 and just 330 in 2004! As far as MOT's go there is a 66% pass rate with 1980 cars being the most populous and 1975 cars being the rarest, they mostly fail on electrics and brakes (unsurprising) and are far worse for steering related issues than other pre 1990 cars which I also find unsurprising.

trigger Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Mk1 Mondeos were/are getting raped for their engines, especially the early K-L plates as they are popular for the zetec conversions as they didn't have all the ECU gubbins like the later ones, so i understand anyway.

sierraman Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Mk1 Mondeos were/are getting raped for their engines, especially the early K-L plates as they are popular for the zetec conversions as they didn't have all the ECU gubbins like the later ones, so i understand anyway.They all had ECUs. Probably more likely they get used for the silver top zetec as opposed to the later black top. Best out of them would be the later 95-97 silver tops which had slightly more BHP.

Cavcraft Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 HML is wildly inaccurate imho, the handful of times I've tested it it's been miles out. What kills a lot of cars off is when they fall into the general public's version of auto shite. That perfectly good sub £500 car that needs an exhaust, two tyres and ball joints (or whatever) gets sacked off because of a £200 quote from a garage, so Mr/s Brain-Donor scrap it and buy another car with a longer MOT.The standard/quality of cars (and of traffic coppers) has come on leaps and bounds from the days where you'd see cars rusting and falling to bits being driven round. Instead you see what looks like reasonably good motors being driven by people who simply don't know how to drive, let alone maintain cars. The wheel trim-less, bald front tyred Scenic being driven full tilt over speed humps, the Focus/Astra/Vectra/Meriva/Mondeo/Picasso smoking it's bollocks off as it parks across two spaces, they're all out there.That's what kills cars off, same as rust and shit engines killed 60's/70's cars off back in the day. It's just a shame that it's the public killing cars now, not the build quality. D Spares & Tyres, auldford, AlabamaShrimp and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-R Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If anyone is wondering where all the Renault 19s have gone, they were all confiscated and scrapped in the episode of Traffic Cops that has just been on Dave Ja Vu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wheeledstool Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 HML is only let down by the boobs that enter the car's details on the database when registering. My blue Polo G40 was registered as a "Polo 1300" whereas all the ones registered by VW dealers had "Polo Coupe G40 1272" as the model type. This excludes my car from the figures.

406V6 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 My variant of 406 - Saloon GTX V6 Auto - seems to have been the fastest declining of all and is the rarest V6 engined 406 by far. Excluding SORN, just 3 left from a maximum of 63 which is a survival rate of less than 5% whereas other models are around 10 - 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 '90s A4s have a roughly 42% pass rate and most of the fails are suspension related.Not surprised at all - most of the work on ours so far has been suspension (track/tie rods, springs), and it needs control arms badly. A4 2.6 Quattros are listed as simply 'A4 Quattro' - they were the first A4 Quattro - and only made for a year or two from the A4's launch with the 2.6. They're also the only ones without a trim level or engine size in the description - IIRC there weren't any trim levels just option codes - SE etc came in with the '97 facelift.First year of production had a lot of oddities needless to say. It appears our A4 is one of the first 1500 manual A4 Quattros of any sort ever registered in the country , with 328 registered in 1995 and 821 in '96. The number goes up 50 in 1997 then levels out (this coincides with the 2.8 coming in).159 left on the roads and 89 on SORN, they've been dying off steadily since 2005. I wonder how many others there are left under 80,000 miles - probably not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It looks like I have the only 605 SVE auto on the road. Currently comining up as 0 and a handful on sorn - I've taxed it a couple of weeks ago after buying it. 820 autos are also dropping like flies - we're about ten down since I bought XOG at the start of this year.
