CADILLAC CTS Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 132 CADILLAC CTSs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 258 in 2014 Q3 — only 51% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 126 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 11 a year (8.3% 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. Tellingly, 55% 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 CADILLAC CTS is rarer than 56% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.
