What the table shows

The table covers model years 2007 to 2020 (model years with a page: 5; UK MOT readings in total: 158,040, from 2023 tests). The oldest model year, 2007, has a median of 200,089 km and the newest, 2020, 44,897 km: the older year’s median is 346% higher. The 10th to 90th percentile range is widest relative to the median for 2020 (126% of the median) and narrowest for 2007 (88%).

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.
