Cars that could vanish from UK roads in the next 5 years
Analysis from ALA Insurance has examined over 24,000 declining vehicle models using official registration data to identify the cars most at risk of disappearing from Britain's roads. The research focused primarily on popular petrol and diesel cars, estimating their typical lifespan and predicting when they are likely to vanish based on current ownership trends. Several staples from the 1990s are said to be at risk, while one model is set to no longer be a sight on UK roads by 2029. The cars that could vanish from UK roads in the next 5 years According to the analysis, the cars that will be disappearing from the UK's roads in the next few years are: Daewoo Matiz (2029) : One of Europe's best-selling cars in the early 2000s, known for its low costs and everyday practicality. Fiat Stilo (2030) : Fiat's attempt to rival the VW Golf, the Stilo featured advanced technology for its time. Chevrolet Tacuma (2030) : A budget-friendly MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) offering generous interior space and comfort, once a go-to for families. Rover 25 (2030) : Combining a smooth ride with practicality, the Rover 25 was a popular choice for drivers seeking comfort and class at an affordable price. Citroen Saxo (2031): A defining small car of its era, the Saxo offered low running costs and sharp handling, earning a loyal following among young drivers. Aimee Anderson of ALA Insurance said: 'Models like the Daewoo Matiz, Peugeot 306 and Citroën Saxo may not turn heads today, but they once defined everyday driving in the UK. 'The decline of these models is largely down to age and deterioration. As MOT failures continue to rise, most owners draw the line once repair costs outweigh the car's value.' Recommended reading: Jim Starling, who runs the popular YouTube channel DefinitelyNotAGuru, shared his thoughts on the decline of once-familiar models. He said: "It's surprising how many cars that were once a common sight on UK roads are already becoming increasingly rare. "Everyday models like the Ford Ka 2 are hardly seen anymore. I always had a soft spot for the Hyundai Coupe as it was a slightly daring design from what was, quite a conservative brand at the time. Now, there are already very few of them left.'
