MAZDA MPV Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 197 MAZDA MPVs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,051 in 2014 Q3 — only 19% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 854 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 10 a year (4.8% 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. Tellingly, 81% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the MAZDA MPV is rarer than 52% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the MPV
The Mazda MPV (Multi-Purpose Passenger Vehicle) is a minivan manufactured by Mazda. Introduced in 1988 as a rear-wheel-drive model with optional selectable four-wheel drive, this was replaced in 1999 with a front-wheel-drive version with optional all-wheel-drive in some markets. Over one million MPV models have been produced since its introduction.
