How many Dfsk Loadhopper cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 216 licensed and 99 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Dfsk Loadhopper generic-model group.

Looking at a Loadhopper?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Loadhopper is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Loadhopper disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 390 in 2017 Q1 and stand at 216 in 2026 Q1, down 45%. That is down 37% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 99 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 315 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 315 Loadhopper vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (99 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 45% from the 2017 Q1 peak of 390. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Loadhopper — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
