There are still nearly one million MG and Rover cars on the road, according to a study by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

These figures demonstrate the longevity of MG Rover cars and the continued success of parts specialist XPart in keeping these highly regarded vehicles on the road.

Some models recorded a decline of just one per cent from 2009 to 2010. MG parts suppliers XPart is proving extremely successful in enabling MG Rover owners to keep their cars on the road.

With 92 per cent part availability and programmes the company has provided MG Rover owners with the parts and servicing necessary to preserve their vehicles.

Models like the MG, ZR, TF, ZS and ZT all performed well with each model achieving a decline of less than five per cent. Rover models also stood out with the CityRover and Streetwise falling by a mere two per cent and one per cent.

"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.

XPart has been responsible for the supply of genuine MG and Rover parts since 2001, and has continued to supply parts for MG and Rover cars despite the closure of the MG Rover factory in 2005.
