MAYBACH 57 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 30 MAYBACH 57s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 38 in 2017 Q4 — only 79% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 8 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (4.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2039 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the MAYBACH 57 is rarer than 70% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
