UK vehicle statistics / Wacker Neuson

How many Wacker Neuson DW trucks are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 1,447 licensed and 821 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Wacker Neuson DW generic-model group.

Is the DW disappearing?

1,447 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the DW is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 191% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 821 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 2,268 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

Wacker Neuson DW first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q3. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 2,268 DW vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (821 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
• Check the actual DW — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
