PERODUA NIPPA Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 191 PERODUA NIPPAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 695 in 2014 Q3 — only 27% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 504 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 12 a year (6.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2036 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 86% 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 PERODUA NIPPA is rarer than 52% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
