HOW MANY ROVER 45 ARE LEFT?

There are 1,436 ROVER 45 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3,564 ROVER 45 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 was highest during 2005 Q4 (70,412). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 65,412 (93%) ROVER 45 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q4 the number of ROVER 45 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 has fallen by 24,955. Licensed models have fallen by 25,595 and the SORNed total has increased by 640.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5,045 ROVER 45 models. Taxed models have declined by 4,561 and the SORNed total has fallen by 484.

71% of the remaining 5,000 ROVER 45 in the UK are currently off the road.
