OPEL VECTRA Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 13 OPEL VECTRAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 26 in 2015 Q1 — only 50% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 13 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 0 a year (3.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2043 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the OPEL VECTRA is rarer than 77% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
