TOYOTA SPRINTER Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 30 TOYOTA SPRINTERs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 33 in 2025 Q3 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3 cars.

In all, the TOYOTA SPRINTER is rarer than 71% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
