HOW MANY ROVER 25 ARE LEFT?

There are 2,435 ROVER 25 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 6,607 ROVER 25 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 25 was highest during 2005 Q4 (152,042). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 143,000 (94%) ROVER 25 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q2 the number of ROVER 25 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 25 has fallen by 50,291. Licensed models have fallen by 50,562 and the SORNed total has increased by 271.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 8,577 ROVER 25 models. Taxed models have declined by 7,482 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1,095.

73% of the remaining 9,042 ROVER 25 in the UK are currently off the road.
