HOW MANY ROVER 420DI ARE LEFT?

There are 1 ROVER 420DI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 54 ROVER 420DI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 420DI was highest during 2000 Q4 (2,632). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,577 (98%) ROVER 420DI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of ROVER 420DI 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 420DI has fallen by 138. Licensed models have fallen by 119 and the SORNed total has fallen by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 18 ROVER 420DI models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

98% of the remaining 55 ROVER 420DI in the UK are currently off the road.
