Lt
Suzuki · on record 2022 to 2025
The Suzuki Lt belongs to the LT and KingQuad family and is a quad bike, not a conventional passenger car. Suzuki LT and KingQuad machines are 4 wheel all terrain vehicles used for farm, estate and recreational work, with automatic or manual drivetrains depending on version. For the Lt, retaining the full registration code matters because its letters and numbers can distinguish capacity, generation or specification from neighbouring entries.
Red List classification, from population, five year trajectory and survival against peak. Reviewed each census.
2025 census
100.0% of the peak fleet remains licensed

Population history
Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. The filters below apply to the family population, MOT and registration figures. They do not alter the generation history above.
Inside the surviving fleet
AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.
First registrations by year
When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.
New registrations
Vehicles first registered each year. A fleet still being sold shows here; a finished one shows only imports.
MOT reliability
DVSA test results for this family, 2009 to 2020.
| Failure reason | Failures | Share of all tests |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive radial movement (play) at the top of the steering column between the column and the shaft indicating a badly worn top bearing (see note) | 1 | 6.3% |
| Excessive play in a rear wheel bearing indicating severe maladjustment or wear | 1 | 6.3% |
| Parking brake control missing, defective or inoperative | 1 | 6.3% |
| Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value | 1 | 6.3% |
| Excessive play in a front wheel bearing | 1 | 6.3% |
| A brake lining or pad insecure or less than 1.5mm thick at any point | 1 | 6.3% |
| Parking brake control missing, defective or inoperative | 1 | 6.3% |
| An obligatory headlamp inoperative, excessively damaged or deteriorated or has a product on the lens or light source so that the light output is well below that required to illuminate the road ahead | 1 | 6.3% |
Counted across every recorded test, 2009 to 2020. Advisories are excluded.
Where the Lt remains
Based on MOT test locations, 2020. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.
| Postcode area | Vehicles tested | Pass rate |

How this record was calculated
Full methodology
Population history combines DVLA VEH0120 Q4 census observations through 2013 with the annual VEH0220 census from 2014 onward. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Historical VEH0120 is used only when its overlapping UK observations reconcile to the current canonical family definition. Vehicles are grouped into this family using the DVLA GenModel together with durable routing rules for known inconsistencies.
Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Configuration is only assigned where the model description explicitly identifies it; a blank configuration is not treated as a two door Wrangler. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.
MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
