CHEVROLET SPARK Common
As of 2026 Q2, 12,856 CHEVROLET SPARKs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads.

They're disappearing at roughly 1,188 a year (9.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the SPARK
The Chevrolet Spark (Korean: 쉐보레 스파크) is a city car manufactured by General Motors's subsidiary GM Korea from 1998 to 2022. The vehicle was developed by Daewoo and introduced in 1998 as the Daewoo Matiz (대우 마티즈). In 2002, General Motors purchased Daewoo Motors, which was marketing the vehicle with several GM marques and nameplates.

The fourth generation was launched in 2015, known as the Holden Spark in Australia...
