HOW MANY LEYLAND DAF ARE LEFT?

There are 2,198 LEYLAND DAF left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 9,910 LEYLAND DAF that are currently SORNED.

The total number of LEYLAND DAF was highest during 1999 Q4 (112,066). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 99,958 (89%) LEYLAND DAF have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of LEYLAND DAF that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of LEYLAND DAF has fallen by 4,570. Licensed models have fallen by 7,466 and the SORNed total has increased by 2,896.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,756 LEYLAND DAF models. Taxed models have declined by 1,996 and the SORNed total has increased by 240.

82% of the remaining 12,108 LEYLAND DAF in the UK are currently off the road.
