I think I had 7 or 8 MOT'd in 2007 too!
So how many were registered RHD new in the first instance?
250?

I was going to post about this too! But won't spoil the fun.
How did you read the figures? Is the pass and fail rate added together the number of cars in circulaion, or is it simply the number of times a vehicle has passed or failed?
Very intersting reading.

I bet not many are 2.1 full stop.. I bet most are 2.0i turbos, as seem to be the most common ones for sale..

Nah, most will be 2.1 auto's as they're what most folk want and many here have
- the 2.0i's are the one's only the Pug boys want and people seem to sell.
The figure's going to be daft like 200 or 2000!

There are about 2000 more Bxs than Xms!
The turbo petrols are probably not kept too long because of fuel consumption.
Most will be 2.1 TD auto VSXs.

Two years ago?
Has to be over 1000 surely.
I'd guess there would be more 2.0i's than any other model......also, I think I read (on here) that something like three quarters of the XM's sold were S1's
Whatever it was in 2007 it must be lower now, because I've scrapped one since then......
