HONDA CIVIC Common
As of 2026 Q2, 289,600 HONDA CIVICs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 439,483 in 2014 Q3 — only 66% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 149,883 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 17,413 a year (6.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2037 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
