A rolling total is slang term meaning a car that still gets around but should be destroyed and taken off the road such as cars that are totaled by an insurance company. Since this is a slang term it may not necessarily refer to cars that were actually totaled out vehicles but can also apply to cars that look old and raggedy or work so poorly that a person may call this type of car in this condition a "rolling total."
