As of 2026 Q1, 846 HONDA LEGENDs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,641 in 2014 Q3 — only 52% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 795 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 58 a year (6.8% 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, 56% 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.
Rare — fewer than 1,000 remain (846 in the latest data).
Rarer than 37% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
Disappearing at about 58 a year (6.8% of survivors). At that pace roughly 594 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2036.
