DAEWOO NUBIRA Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 306 DAEWOO NUBIRAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 2,225 in 2014 Q3 — only 14% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1,919 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 21 a year (7.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2036 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 92% 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.
