TOYOTA PICNIC Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 927 TOYOTA PICNICs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 4,191 in 2014 Q3 — only 22% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3,264 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 83 a year (9.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 82% 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.

About the PICNIC
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.
