SPOTTO: FACT SHEET
Figures from the NZ Motor Vehicle Register of 31 August 2026.

What it is
  A free car-spotting app for New Zealand. Spot a car, log it in a few
  seconds, and see how rare it is here.

The grades
  Common (8,000 or more registered), Uncommon (1,200 to 7,999), Scarce
  (175 to 1,199), Rare (25 to 174), Super rare (5 to 24) and Unicorn
  (fewer than 5), nationally and for each region.

Where the numbers come from
  The Motor Vehicle Register, published by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi
  as open data (CC BY 4.0). Recounted every month.

The scale
  4.67 million cars, vans and utes, whose make and model the register writes
  27,174 ways. Spotto sorts 97.4% of them into 3,044 cars you'd recognise,
  and nearly 5,500 cars and motorcycles in all, counted down to generation,
  badge and engine.

The MX-5
  7,179 registered, under 21 spellings; 1,037 recorded as "MX-5".
  NA 3,225, NB 1,380, NC 1,721, ND 850.

A few more
  An R34 Skyline is easier to find than a 90s Mustang: 1,062 against 563.
  3,177 R32 Skylines. 27 Trekkas. 3 Anziel Novas.

Privacy
  No plate lookups and no owner details, ever. Shared spots show a region,
  never an exact place. No advertising code, and no analytics in the
  Android app. Spotto in a web browser counts daily totals, never what any
  one person did.

Cost
  Free to spot, log, and collect, always.
