PEUGEOT 206 Common
As of 2025 Q4, 68,780 PEUGEOT 206s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 466,286 in 2014 Q3 — only 15% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 397,506 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 13,067 a year (19.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2028 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 58% 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.
