Leyland Freighter lorries: how many are still registered?
114still registered
Leyland Freighter lorries still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 9 recorded variants.
Most recorded on UK roads at once: 4,766 (1994 Q4) - 2.3% of that peak survives.
Disappearing at about 2.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 99 in 2030.
102 of the survivors (89.4%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the Leyland Freighter nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is lorries only.
By year
All 114 surviving Leyland Freighter lorries, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 30 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 79.0% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
