PEUGEOT 206 Common
As of 2026 Q1, 66,646 PEUGEOT 206s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 466,286 in 2014 Q3 — only 14% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 399,640 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 12,576 a year (18.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2029 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 60% 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.
