TOYOTA IPSUM Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 52 TOYOTA IPSUMs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 60 in 2014 Q3 — only 87% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 8 cars. 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 TOYOTA IPSUM is rarer than 66% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the IPSUM
The Toyota Ipsum, Picnic, or Avensis Verso is a car produced by the Japanese carmaker Toyota from 1995 to 2010. It is a compact MPV with standard three-row seating. The Ipsum, like many Toyota products, was shared as a trio of the Toyota Gaia, and sold only at Japanese Toyota dealerships called Toyota Store, next to the Toyota Carina. The Gaia was unique to Toyopet Store locations, and the Toyota Nadia was sold at Toyota Corolla Store.
