TOYOTA CORONA Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 72 TOYOTA CORONAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (2.9%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

In all, the TOYOTA CORONA is rarer than 62% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
