Both charts illustrate the frequency of changing automobiles and the four distinct types of cars that nationals in a European nation decided to purchase in 2009. From an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that most citizens tended to replace their cars every five years or more, while second-hand cars were the most popular type among them during the surveyed period.
Regarding the former chart, people usually changed their automobiles after a five-year period, with approximately 52% of citizens. In addition, every 3-4 years was the second most preferred frequency for switching cars, accounting for around 37%. Moreover, the percentages of every two years and never change were significantly lower than the two aforementioned categories, being recorded at about 5% and 3%, respectively. The remaining sections, namely every year and no change, ranged from 1 to 2%, indicating that they were the lowest value in the first graph.
Concerning the latter chart, the best choice among residents in order to change vehicles was the second-hand type, constituting nearly 80%. New cars were also a favored option, but to a lesser extent, roughly one quarter compared to the second-hand cars. Furthermore, there were a small number of individuals who shifted from their old automobiles to pre-owned or new vehicles, comprising around 10%. No car, however, represented about 1% of people, which made it the least common choice.
