They won't end.
It is like the Forth Road Bridge, once you get to 5999, the first lot of 4xxx will have gone.
Look at the Prestiges and the gaps left from their scrapping?
No vehicles allocated a 4xxx from 4000-4841.
The next lot are the Renowns (which won't have long left). You can see the Rxxx PRG batch go upto 4854 and continue with the V, X and W examples, before hitting the older Solars.
When they will re-start, I have no idea as I can't see any examples of younger vehicles, given a lower number, than it's older 'type' cousin.
Eg the ex ANE Renowns, were given numbers higher than the native examples - despite there being spare numbers, lower than the ones bought new.
So any new Citaros, will (using that logic), will not be allocated a 4xxx number, as they will be younger than those already in the fleet.
Whether that pattern continues, who knows.
