As said elsewhere , this is a very misleading site due to the model descriptions used . V6 cars are not being scrapped due to belt replacement ; when one is scrapped it will probably be due to subframes , suspension arms or sills and these are the same for all engine models .

However, I fear that the model breakdown is not.
This is because of various descriptions used by the dealers registering the vehicles.

On the V5C, my car is registered as a "Rover Connoisseur SE" which gives numbers of 502 on the road and 411 SORN.
Other dealers might have registered it "Rover 75", "Rover Connoisseur SE V6"
or other descriptions such as CONSEUR or CON-SSEUR, for example.
These put them in separate model groups.

As it is more difficult to have discrepancies on engine cc this probably gives a good idea. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/family/rover_75#!engine
Although I do feel sorry for those guys that have engines up to 499cc and hats off to the person that has one with a 10 litre plus engine.
In the realm of strange names for our cars my (clearly badged) MG ZTT must be up there with the best of them. It's registered as a MG 75 ...lol

When I posted it, I also questioned its accuracy and wondered what others thought, thanks for the responses

According to this website my Motorbike does not exist. Very odd considering I know of at least 3 others

Bit of a rubbish site I think.---

I think that is a bit harsh. All the site does is collate the info from various sources. It is the source of the information which is the problem.
