Rover 600 Series: how many are still registered?

2,150still registered

Rover 600 Series cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 27 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 116,772 (1999 Q4) - 1.8% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 7.1% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,486 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2036.

1,597 of the survivors (74.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,150 surviving Rover 600 Series cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 6,014 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 26.3% 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.
