VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 4,011 VOLKSWAGEN CORRADOs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 4,228 in 2014 Q3 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 217 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 26 (0.7%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 76% 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 CORRADO
The Volkswagen Corrado is a sport compact car which was marketed by Volkswagen from 1988 until 1995. It was manufactured by Karmann in Osnabrück, Germany. The Corrado is a three-door coupé with two side passenger doors and a rear liftback that seats four passengers in a 2+2 seating arrangement. It has a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and was based on the Volkswagen Group A2 platform used in the Volkswagen Golf Mk2. Designed by Herbert Schäfer, the Corrado overlapped and eventually superseded Volkswagen's Scirocco model. 97,521 Corrados were manufactured over the seven year production run...
