FORD TAURUS Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 41 FORD TAURUSs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 45 in 2018 Q4 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (5.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the FORD TAURUS is rarer than 68% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
