CHRYSLER NEON Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 487 CHRYSLER NEONs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 3,625 in 2014 Q3 — only 13% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3,138 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 50 a year (10.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2031 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 81% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the NEON
The Neon is a compact car built from November 1993 until 2005 by the American Chrysler Corporation over two generations.

In the United States and Canada, it was sold as either a Dodge or a Plymouth (except for the 2001–2003 model years in Canada, when it was branded as a Chrysler), while in Europe, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Egypt, Australia, South Africa, and South America, it was branded as a Chrysler. The Neon was offered in multiple versions and configurations over its production...
