MAZDA E SERIES Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 3 MAZDA E SERIESs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 5 in 2016 Q1 — only 60% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 0 a year (14.9% 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 E SERIES is rarer than 87% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
