Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Rover 25 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is vans only.

By year

All 126 surviving Rover 25 vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 221 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 36.3% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
