Car longevity in Sweden: A revised estimate

Abstract Previous studies have tended to exaggerate car longevity in Sweden. This has arisen because of the inclusion in the car fleet of vehicles that are no longer roadworthy. This report presents survival functions for cars for the period 1965–1984 based on estimates of the true car fleet. The mean life expectancy of cars is calculated at 14.7 years for 1984, as compared with 9.4 years in 1965. This is some 2 years below previous estimates. However, median car life in Sweden is still 1 year above that in the United States, for example.
