HOW MANY OVER ARE LEFT?

There are 2 OVER left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5 OVER that are currently SORNED.

The total number of OVER was highest during 2021 Q3 (11). The number taxed topped out in 2017 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 4 (36%) OVER have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of OVER that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of OVER has gained 5. Licensed models have fallen by 0 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 OVER models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

71% of the remaining 7 OVER in the UK are currently off the road.
