What the table shows

The table covers model years 2010 to 2021 (model years with a page: 5; UK MOT readings in total: 67,087, from 2023 tests). The oldest model year, 2010, has a median of 172,644 km and the newest, 2021, 31,517 km: the older year’s median is 448% higher. The 10th to 90th percentile range is widest relative to the median for 2021 (163% of the median) and narrowest for 2010 (86%).

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.
