NISSAN QX Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 17 NISSAN QXs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 77 in 2014 Q3 — only 22% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 60 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (7.8% 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. In all, the NISSAN QX is rarer than 76% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
