DAEWOO KORANDO Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 75 DAEWOO KORANDOs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 191 in 2014 Q3 — only 39% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 116 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 6 a year (7.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2035 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 89% 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 DAEWOO KORANDO is rarer than 63% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
