Full list of cars expected to go ‘extinct’ by 2030

58 classic and once-popular cars have been identified as likely to disappear from roads by 2030. 

Temporary vehicle insurance provider, Tempcover, analysed 10 years of DVLA registration data to estimate how quickly the numbers of specific models are declining. 

The analysis then forecasted an “extinction date” when registrations could hit zero, and the models completely disappear.

2029 

As vehicles age, they become more expensive for drivers to repair and harder to source new parts, leading many to swap their current models for new ones.  

A shift to newer tech like electric vehicles and stricter emissions standards for drivers have also contributed to these models vanishing from our roads.

Declining numbers could mean certain models are bought by collectors as “future classics”, increasing their value.  

Did any of your favourite models appear on the list? If so, you better snap them up before they disappear forever.
