DAIHATSU MOVE Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 136 DAIHATSU MOVEs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 573 in 2014 Q3 — only 24% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 437 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 14 a year (10.2% 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, 76% 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. In all, the DAIHATSU MOVE is rarer than 56% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the MOVE
The Daihatsu Move (Japanese: ダイハツ・ムーヴ, Hepburn: Daihatsu Mūvu) is a kei car/city car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu between 1995 and 2023, and was reintroduced in 2025. The Move is Daihatsu's response to the similarly designed Suzuki Wagon R that was introduced two years earlier in 1993. The first Move was designed by Italian design house I.DE.A Institute and succeeding generations continued to build upon the original design. The Move is built upon the chassis of the Mira but with a taller body.
