MAZDA 1600 Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 3 MAZDA 1600s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 4 in 2014 Q4 — only 75% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 0 a year (16.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2029 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the MAZDA 1600 is rarer than 87% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
