DAIHATSU TERIOS Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 4,749 DAIHATSU TERIOSs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 11,593 in 2014 Q3 — only 41% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6,844 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 512 a year (10.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2032 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 40% 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.
