Looking at a LX Series?
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 LX Series is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.
Is the LX Series disappearing?
Licensed numbers peaked at 167 in 2025 Q4 and stand at 166 in 2026 Q1, down 1%. A further 19 are declared SORN — 1 in 10 of the 185 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.
Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics
DfT codes every vehicle in the Kubota LX Series generic-model group as diesel.
Kubota LX Series first appears in the published DfT series in 2021 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
