The data illustrates the total number of cars on the road in the UK between 2000 and 2016, including projections for 2015 and 2016. It can be seen that the number of cars in the United Kingdom was still growing and that there was a large market, however, the average age of cars in the United Kingdom was also increasing which means that less people were buying new cars. This trend is very likely to continue for the next year but will probably start to change after that. Under this assumption and expecting the rise of new cars on the road to continue, the average age of cars on the road in the United Kingdom should start to reduce and the proportion of new cars on the road will gradually rise as a result.
