According to the Thames Valley Police web page:

http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news_info/departments/transport/transport2.htm

they have 77 marked Omega's still in service :o :o :o.

This could be an out of date web page, but usually these pages are frequently ammended so perhaps not! :-/ :-/

I don't know what the disposal policies are around the country with other forces but up here in Durham they keep the cars a bit longer now, if they still have the same cars on the fleet they keep the old ones for a while to rob parts off them. They don't reach auction in the condition they used to.
