MAZDA 1500 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 4 MAZDA 1500s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 6 in 2014 Q3 — only 67% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the MAZDA 1500 is rarer than 85% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the 1500
The Mazda Luce (Japanese: マツダ・ルーチェ, Hepburn: Matsuda Rūche) is an executive car that was produced by Mazda in Japan from 1966 until 1991. It was widely exported as the Mazda 929 from 1973 to 1991 as Mazda's largest sedan. Later generations were installed with luxury items and interiors as the Luce became the flagship offering. In 1991, the Luce was replaced by the Sentia, which was also exported under the 929 nameplate.
