Survival, year by year

The same model ages very differently depending on when it was first registered. For each year of first registration since 2014, this is the most of that year's cars that were ever licensed at once, and how many of them are still licensed today. The three youngest years are shown without a percentage: their peak is still today's count, so it would read 100% and mean nothing.
