TOYOTA PREVIA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 5,223 TOYOTA PREVIAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 16,582 in 2014 Q3 — only 31% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 11,359 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 592 a year (11.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2032 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 48% 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 PREVIA
The Toyota Previa, also known as the Toyota Estima (Japanese: トヨタ・エスティマ, Hepburn: Toyota Esutima) in Japan, and Toyota Tarago in Australia, is a minivan that was produced by Toyota from 1990 until October 2019 across three generations. The Previa was the second largest minivan in Toyota's lineup in Japan after the bigger and more luxurious Alphard/Vellfire. The name Previa, used in the United States and United Kingdom, is derived from the Italian previdenza, meaning 'providence' or 'foresight'. The name Estima is taken from the word estimable.
