1 Results to 1994 are from geographical analysis provided by DVLA. Results for 1995 onwards are estimated using post town area data.
2 Includes all two wheeled motor vehicles.
3 The figures for public transport vehicles are affected by changes in the taxation arrangements in 1989 and 1995.
4 For years up to 1992 estimates are taken from the DVLA annual vehicle census, from 1993 onwards estimates are taken from the
Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions’ Vehicle Information database and are not consistent with previous years.
See Notes.
