HOW MANY ROVER MINI SPRITE ARE LEFT?

There are 591 ROVER MINI SPRITE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,729 ROVER MINI SPRITE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER MINI SPRITE was highest during 1996 Q4 (3,797). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,477 (39%) ROVER MINI SPRITE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of ROVER MINI SPRITE 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 MINI SPRITE has gained 78. Licensed models have fallen by 387 and the SORNed total has increased by 465.
