AUDI AVANT Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 30 AUDI AVANTs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 54 in 2014 Q3 — only 56% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 24 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (7.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2035 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the AUDI AVANT is rarer than 70% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
