HONDA CIVIC Common
As of 2025 Q4, 298,481 HONDA CIVICs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 439,703 in 2014 Q3 — only 68% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 141,222 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 16,936 a year (5.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2037 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
