CHEVROLET MATIZ Uncommon
As of 2025 Q4, 8,850 CHEVROLET MATIZs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 29,747 in 2014 Q3 — only 30% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 20,897 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1,847 a year (20.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2028 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
