CADILLAC STS Ultra-rare

As of 2026 Q2, 23 CADILLAC STSs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 29 in 2014 Q3 — only 79% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (4.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the CADILLAC STS is rarer than 73% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
