DAEWOO TACUMA Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 339 DAEWOO TACUMAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 4,107 in 2014 Q3 — only 8% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3,768 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 39 a year (11.5% 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, 91% 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 TACUMA
The Daewoo Tacuma (or Rezzo, Korean: 대우 레조) is a compact MPV that was produced by South Korean manufacturer Daewoo. Developed under the U100 code name, it was designed by Pininfarina and is based on the original Daewoo Nubira J100, a compact car. Following the phasing out of Daewoo as a brand in most export markets, the car was rebadged as a Chevrolet, retaining whichever model name had been used in its market. Additionally, the Chevrolet Vivant nameplate was introduced for the Singaporean, Vietnamese, South African and South American markets.
