LADA COSSACK Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 30 LADA COSSACKs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 35 in 2014 Q3 — only 86% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5 cars.

In all, the LADA COSSACK is rarer than 70% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
