FIAT SEICENTO Uncommon
As of 2025 Q4, 3,670 FIAT SEICENTOs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 19,907 in 2014 Q3 — only 18% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 16,237 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 430 a year (11.7% 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, 77% 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.
