PEUGEOT 305 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 186 PEUGEOT 305s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 198 in 2014 Q3 — only 94% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 12 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (0.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 83% 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 PEUGEOT 305 is rarer than 53% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
