HENKILOEAUTOJA KAEYTETAEAEN ENTISTAE PITEMPAEAEN

The total number of cars in Finland is now approximately 1350000, but in 1960 it was only 200000. The average service life of passenger cars was 13.2 years at the end of 1981 after having increased steadily through the 1970's (in 1971, it was 10.4 years). Service life varies according to the model of the car, the country of manufacture, sale price, and engine capacity. (TRRL)
