This statistic shows the average age of light commercial vehicles on the road in the United Kingdom between 2007 and 2015, including projections for 2014 and 2015. The average age of the vehicles can give an idea about how often people are buying new cars, so the older the average vehicle, the longer people are sticking with their old cars rather than buying new ones. Thus the number of people holding on to their aging LCVs wa projected to steadily increase from 2012.
