PEUGEOT 304 Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 198 PEUGEOT 304s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 205 in 2024 Q1 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 7 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 51% 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. In all, the PEUGEOT 304 is rarer than 52% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.
