MITSUBISHI 3000 Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 556 MITSUBISHI 3000s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 607 in 2017 Q3 — only 92% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 51 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 10 a year (1.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2064 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 79% 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.
