NISSAN 200 Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 3,246 NISSAN 200s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 3,497 in 2014 Q3 — only 93% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 251 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 59 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.

About the 200
