MAZDA XEDOS Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 252 MAZDA XEDOSs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 894 in 2014 Q3 — only 28% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 642 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 18 a year (7.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2035 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 85% 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. In all, the MAZDA XEDOS is rarer than 50% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
