AUDI A2 Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 7,600 AUDI A2s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 17,227 in 2014 Q3 — only 44% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 9,627 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 603 a year (7.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2034 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the A2
The Audi A2 (internally designated Typ 8Z) is a compact MPV-styled supermini car produced by the German manufacturer Audi from November 1999 (for the 2000 model year) to August 2005. It is a five-door hatchback with four or five seats. Based on the Audi Al2 concept car first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997, the A2 was notable for being constructed from aluminium, which made it lightweight and alongside its efficient engines made it highly fuel efficient. Sales were disappointing, and the car was taken out of production in 2005.
