SUBARU VIVIO Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 45 SUBARU VIVIOs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 67 in 2014 Q3 — only 67% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 22 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 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. In all, the SUBARU VIVIO is rarer than 67% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the VIVIO
The Subaru Vivio is a kei car that was introduced in March 1992, and manufactured by Subaru until October 1998. It is small enough to place it in the kei car class, giving its owners large tax breaks in Japan. The Vivio has a spacious interior considering its small size, thanks to a relatively tall profile and large windows. The name "Vivio" is a reference to the engine's displacement of 660 written in an approximation of Roman numerals (VI, VI, O), and also inspired by the word vivid. It replaced the Rex nameplate that was introduced in the 1970s, and was itself superseded by the Subaru Pleo....
