ISUZU BIGHORN Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 111 ISUZU BIGHORNs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 232 in 2014 Q3 — only 48% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 121 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 6 a year (5.8% 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. 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. In all, the ISUZU BIGHORN is rarer than 58% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
