MAZDA 1300 Ultra-rare

As of 2026 Q1, 23 MAZDA 1300s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads.

Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 4 (21.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the MAZDA 1300 is rarer than 73% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
