The two bar charts illustrate a survey in a particular European nation in 2009, based on how frequently people changed their vehicles and what types of cars they purchased.
Overall, it is evident that most people tended to get a new car after five years or more, and second-hand ones were by far the most popular purchasing decision in the given period.
In terms of replacement frequency, the majority of individuals changed their car after at least 5 years, accounting for more than half, followed by about 38% who replaced their car every three to four years. This figure was larger than that of those who never changed their vehicle (3%) and those who did not own a car (2%), while just 1% replaced their vehicle annually.
Turning to the types of cars purchased, second-hand cars made up the highest share (about 80%), which approximately tripled the figure for new cars. Finally, although some consumers opted for a mix of new and used cars, this option remained relatively unpopular, making up only about 10%.
