HOW MANY ROVER STERLING ARE LEFT?

There are 105 ROVER STERLING left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 332 ROVER STERLING that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER STERLING was highest during 1996 Q4 (13,112). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 12,675 (97%) ROVER STERLING have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of ROVER STERLING 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 STERLING has fallen by 272. Licensed models have fallen by 251 and the SORNed total has fallen by 21.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 91 ROVER STERLING models. Taxed models have declined by 62 and the SORNed total has fallen by 29.

76% of the remaining 437 ROVER STERLING in the UK are currently off the road.
