HOW MANY ROVER METRO RIO ARE LEFT?

There are 40 ROVER METRO RIO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 187 ROVER METRO RIO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER METRO RIO was highest during 1995 Q4 (17,130). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 16,903 (99%) ROVER METRO RIO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of ROVER METRO RIO 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 RIO has fallen by 151. Licensed models have fallen by 166 and the SORNed total has increased by 15.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 41 ROVER METRO RIO models. Taxed models have declined by 33 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

82% of the remaining 227 ROVER METRO RIO in the UK are currently off the road.
