CITROEN VISA Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 117 CITROEN VISAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 127 in 2014 Q3 — only 92% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 10 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 5 (4.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 77% 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. In all, the CITROEN VISA is rarer than 58% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
