PEUGEOT 605 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 97 PEUGEOT 605s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 164 in 2014 Q3 — only 59% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 67 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 5 a year (4.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2039 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 97% 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 605 is rarer than 59% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
