SKODA 120 Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 134 SKODA 120s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 138 in 2023 Q3 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 3 a year (1.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2062 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% 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 SKODA 120 is rarer than 57% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
