HOW MANY ROVER METRO L ARE LEFT?

There are 43 ROVER METRO L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 226 ROVER METRO L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER METRO L was highest during 1994 Q4 (33,550). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 33,281 (99%) ROVER METRO L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of ROVER METRO L 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 L has fallen by 153. Licensed models have fallen by 171 and the SORNed total has increased by 18.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 30 ROVER METRO L models. Taxed models have declined by 28 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

84% of the remaining 269 ROVER METRO L in the UK are currently off the road.
