MICROCAR M-GO Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 509 MICROCAR M-GOs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 734 in 2018 Q4 — only 69% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 225 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 30 a year (5.9% 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.
