HOW MANY ROVER 218 IS ARE LEFT?

There are 1 ROVER 218 IS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 50 ROVER 218 IS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 218 IS was highest during 2001 Q4 (2,132). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 2,081 (98%) ROVER 218 IS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of ROVER 218 IS 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 218 IS has fallen by 76. Licensed models have fallen by 76 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 13 ROVER 218 IS models. Taxed models have declined by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

98% of the remaining 51 ROVER 218 IS in the UK are currently off the road.
