SSANGYONG MUSSO Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 236 SSANGYONG MUSSOs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 585 in 2014 Q3 — only 40% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 349 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 11 a year (4.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2040 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 93% 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 SSANGYONG MUSSO is rarer than 51% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
