NISSAN LAUREL Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 108 NISSAN LAURELs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 112 in 2019 Q4 — only 96% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 4 (3.8%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

In all, the NISSAN LAUREL is rarer than 58% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
