ROVER MINI Common
As of 2026 Q1, 29,832 ROVER MINIs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 30,092 in 2021 Q4 — only 99% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 260 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 322 (1.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 77% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
