HOW MANY ROVER 220 DS ARE LEFT?

There are 6 ROVER 220 DS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 83 ROVER 220 DS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 220 DS was highest during 2000 Q4 (2,239). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 2,150 (96%) ROVER 220 DS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of ROVER 220 DS 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 220 DS has fallen by 161. Licensed models have fallen by 149 and the SORNed total has fallen by 12.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 23 ROVER 220 DS models. Taxed models have declined by 16 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

93% of the remaining 89 ROVER 220 DS in the UK are currently off the road.
