How many Ford Allied cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 975 licensed and 54 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Ford Allied generic-model group.

Looking at a Allied?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Allied is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Allied disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 978 in 2025 Q4 and stand at 975 in 2026 Q1, flat 0%. That is up 50% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 54 are declared SORN — 1 in 19 of the 1,029 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Ford Allied first appears in the published DfT series in 2017 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Allied MOT pass rate

In 2024, 76.9% of 3,750 Ford Allied MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 77.7% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 75.3% aged 6–9 years.

  • Wipers — 5.4% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
  • Condition — 3% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 2.4% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 2.4% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
