UK vehicle statistics / Leyland DAF

How many Leyland DAF FTG trucks are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 8 licensed and 134 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Leyland DAF FTG generic-model group.

Looking at a FTG?

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 FTG is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the FTG disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 113 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 8 in 2026 Q1, down 93%. That is down 68% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.
