CHEVROLET KALOS Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 2,176 CHEVROLET KALOSs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 14,154 in 2014 Q3 — only 15% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 11,978 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 599 a year (27.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2028 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 41% 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.

About the KALOS
The Chevrolet Aveo ( ə-VAY-oh) is a five-seat, front-wheel drive subcompact car (B-segment) marketed by General Motors (GM) since 2002 over two generations.

The second-generation Aveo, developed by GM Korea (formerly GMDAT), was introduced in 2011...
