HOW MANY ROVER 45 CLASSIC ARE LEFT?

There are 5 ROVER 45 CLASSIC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 8 ROVER 45 CLASSIC that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 CLASSIC was highest during 2008 Q4 (161). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 148 (92%) ROVER 45 CLASSIC have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of ROVER 45 CLASSIC 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 45 CLASSIC has fallen by 104. Licensed models have fallen by 108 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 20 ROVER 45 CLASSIC models. Taxed models have declined by 19 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

62% of the remaining 13 ROVER 45 CLASSIC in the UK are currently off the road.
