The line graph illustrates the number of registered cars in Kazakhstan between 2014 and 2022, categorized into two age groups: “Not more than 3 years” and “More than 10 years.” The figures are presented in thousands of units.
Overall, the number of older cars (more than 10 years) was significantly higher than the number of newer cars (not more than 3 years) throughout the entire period.
In 2014, the number of cars over 10 years old was at its peak, with 2,901 thousand units. This number then fell to its lowest point in 2015, at approximately 2,200 thousand, before steadily increasing to 2,761 thousand in 2022.
In contrast, the number of newer cars started at 326 thousand in 2014, experienced a slight increase to its peak in 2016 at around 650 thousand, and then fluctuated before ending at 320 thousand in 2022. Notably, the starting and ending values for this category were very similar.
The gap between the two categories was substantial. For instance, in 2014, there were approximately nine times more older cars than newer cars. By 2022, this ratio had increased to nearly nine to one, with the number of older cars being 2,761 thousand compared to 320 thousand new cars.
