MAZDA FAMILIA Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 27 MAZDA FAMILIAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 31 in 2014 Q3 — only 87% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars.

In all, the MAZDA FAMILIA is rarer than 71% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
