Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the SUZUKI AY is rarer than 93% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the AY
The Suzuki Katana AY50 is a 49cc scooter produced by Suzuki since 1997 and sold primarily in Europe. It is named after the early 1980s motorcycle of the same name. The designation "AY" indicates that it has a two-stroke engine (A) and that it is intended for use in urban areas (Y). The scooter was widely criticised by the motorcycle press and enthusiasts of the classic motorcycle over the name as for damaging credibility of the Katana name.
