A break in the line means that model year has no page, so no value is drawn for it.

What the table shows

The table covers model years 1999 to 2020 (model years with a page: 15; UK MOT readings in total: 192,320, from 2023 tests). The oldest model year, 1999, has a median of 248,653 km and the newest, 2020, 43,610 km: the older year’s median is 470% higher. The 10th to 90th percentile range is widest relative to the median for 2020 (129% of the median) and narrowest for 2008 (79%). Between directly consecutive model years (pairs compared: 12), the newer year’s median differs by less than 3% on average.

These are 2023 UK MOT observations of different cars at different ages: a cross-section of the fleet, not the history of any one car. Differences between model years reflect cars of different ages, not changes in an individual car’s mileage.

Lithuanian fleet: typical mileage

Home market data. Odometer distribution from Lithuanian technical inspections (TRANSEKSTA), using each car's latest reading. Kilometres.

Latest reading per vehicle; observation dates are not provided in this aggregate. This is a different sample from the UK inspection readings. Aggregate generated: 2026-07-12. Lithuanian and UK figures come from separate samples and are never combined. Only model years with a Lithuanian sample are listed (vehicles per model year: at least 1,000).
