Looks like the rover 75 is loosing 7000 cars per year to the crusher, its not going to take long with just 21888 left and these figures are three months ago, so i reckon theres just 20,000 rovers 75s left on the roads.

which is still good numbers but buy 2022 there will be none operating at that point if this carries on.

Are there stats for the MG ZTs as well?

When comparing to a newer car you also have to take depreciation into account - we've reached the point that the cars don't depreciate, people who ask why we spend £500 on repairs ignore the £1000 theirs has dropped in value during the year.

In 2022 they’ll be 75 and zts around but the mg rover car that’s at risk really is the MG ZR and ZS facelift and the zt I still see plenty around my area there’s one coming out of otley and he looks after massively
