What the table shows
The table covers model years 2004 to 2012 (model years with a page: 7; UK MOT readings in total: 32,947, from 2023 tests). The oldest model year, 2004, has a median of 212,504 km and the newest, 2012, 176,992 km: the older year’s median is 20% higher. The 10th to 90th percentile range is widest relative to the median for 2012 (94% of the median) and narrowest for 2007 (76%). Between directly consecutive model years (pairs compared: 5), 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: . 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).
