NISSAN INTERSTAR Ultra-rare

As of 2026 Q1, 8 NISSAN INTERSTARs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (33.3%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the NISSAN INTERSTAR is rarer than 81% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
