UK vehicle statistics / Liebherr

How many Liebherr LTM trucks are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 1,022 licensed and 54 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Liebherr LTM generic-model group.

Looking at a LTM?

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

Is the LTM disappearing?

1,022 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the LTM is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 97% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 54 are declared SORN — 1 in 20 of the 1,076 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.

When it shows up in the statistics

Liebherr LTM first appears in the published DfT series in 2014 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
