HOW MANY ROVER METRO L AUTO ARE LEFT?

There are 15 ROVER METRO L AUTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 69 ROVER METRO L AUTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER METRO L AUTO was highest during 1995 Q4 (5,522). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 5,438 (98%) ROVER METRO L AUTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q2 the number of ROVER METRO L AUTO 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.
