XPart Helping Keep Almost 1 Million MGs and Rovers on UK Roads

Recently released figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show that both Rover and MG models are still popular with British Owners, as almost one million cars are still on the road. The results show the importance of the role played by specialist parts suppliers in providing an adequate supply of components.

Some models recorded a decline of just 1% from 2009 to 2010.  XPart is proving extremely successful in enabling MG Rover owners to keep their cars on the road.  With 92% part availability and programmes such as the write-off avoidance scheme Close Call, the company has provided MG Rover owners with the parts and servicing necessary to preserve their vehicles.

“These results really vindicate the work XPart is doing across the UK.  A great many people are passionate about MGs and Rovers and we feel it is important to keep these fine examples of British engineering on the road for as long as possible,” says Craig Cooper, XPart General Manager. “The figures show the level of affection people still have for these historic brands and we are constantly finding new ways to source components to ensure that we can provide parts and service to help maintain these fantastic cars.”

For MG, the ZR, TF, ZS and ZT all performed well, with each model achieving a decline of less than 5 percent.  Rover models also stood out, with the CityRover and Streetwise decreasing by just 2 and 1 percent respectively.  The total MG Rover parc now stands at 921,811.
