SKODA 105 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 31 SKODA 105s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 34 in 2015 Q2 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (2.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2050 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the SKODA 105 is rarer than 70% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
