CITROEN DS4 Uncommon

As of 2026 Q1, 9,775 CITROEN DS4s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 12,019 in 2017 Q3 — only 81% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2,244 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 461 a year (4.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2040 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the DS4

The Citroën Saxo is a supermini car which was produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1996 to 2003. It was sold in Japan as the Citroën Chanson, because Honda had registered the "Saxo" name. The Saxo was a development of the Citroën AX and Peugeot 106, which shared a platform and running gear (the major difference being interiors and body panels). It was discontinued in 2003, when it was replaced with the Citroën C2 and Citroën C3 which launched a year earlier. Both models were developed alongside the Peugeot 206.
