MAZDA B SERIES Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 11 MAZDA B SERIESs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 23 in 2014 Q3 — only 48% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 12 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (10.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2031 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the MAZDA B SERIES is rarer than 78% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
