HOW MANY ROVER 45 IS 16V ARE LEFT?

There are 26 ROVER 45 IS 16V left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 162 ROVER 45 IS 16V that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 IS 16V was highest during 2005 Q4 (3,361). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,173 (94%) ROVER 45 IS 16V have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of ROVER 45 IS 16V 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 IS 16V has fallen by 902. Licensed models have fallen by 916 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 145 ROVER 45 IS 16V models. Taxed models have declined by 132 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

86% of the remaining 188 ROVER 45 IS 16V in the UK are currently off the road.
