CITROEN C2 Common
As of 2026 Q1, 11,609 CITROEN C2s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 54,471 in 2014 Q3 — only 21% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 42,862 cars.

Tellingly, 46% 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.
