HOW MANY ROVER 216 SLI ARE LEFT?

There are 52 ROVER 216 SLI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 319 ROVER 216 SLI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 216 SLI was highest during 1999 Q4 (36,175). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 35,804 (99%) ROVER 216 SLI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q1 the number of ROVER 216 SLI 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 ROVER 216 SLI has fallen by 855. Licensed models have fallen by 816 and the SORNed total has fallen by 39.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 155 ROVER 216 SLI models. Taxed models have declined by 140 and the SORNed total has fallen by 15.

86% of the remaining 371 ROVER 216 SLI in the UK are currently off the road.
