SKODA 120 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 132 SKODA 120s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 138 in 2023 Q3 — only 96% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (1.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2063 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% 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 SKODA 120 is rarer than 56% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
