HOW MANY ROVER 218 SD ARE LEFT?

There are 8 ROVER 218 SD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 115 ROVER 218 SD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 218 SD was highest during 1997 Q4 (10,836). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 10,713 (99%) ROVER 218 SD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q3 the number of ROVER 218 SD 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 SD has fallen by 124. Licensed models have fallen by 97 and the SORNed total has fallen by 27.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 25 ROVER 218 SD models. Taxed models have declined by 15 and the SORNed total has fallen by 10.

93% of the remaining 123 ROVER 218 SD in the UK are currently off the road.
