DAIHATSU CUORE Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 419 DAIHATSU CUOREs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 2,234 in 2014 Q3 — only 19% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1,815 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 51 a year (12.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 65% 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.
