HOW MANY ROVER METRO ARE LEFT?

There are 454 ROVER METRO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2,502 ROVER METRO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER METRO was highest during 1996 Q4 (295,922). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 292,966 (99%) ROVER METRO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q3 the number of ROVER METRO 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 METRO has fallen by 1,214. Licensed models have fallen by 1,379 and the SORNed total has increased by 165.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 324 ROVER METRO models. Taxed models have declined by 254 and the SORNed total has fallen by 70.

85% of the remaining 2,956 ROVER METRO in the UK are currently off the road.
