    Description

    The average motorist in the United Kingdom drove up to 10,000 miles per year. In 2018, ** percent of respondents stated that they drove between one to ***** miles annually, which was an increase compared to the year before. Mileage for private travel was highest when compared to other purposes, according to a governmental survey among British car drivers. In 2017, an average of roughly ***** miles were driven for private reasons.

    Company cars have highest mileage

    The above mentioned governmental survey also found that those driving company cars tended to travel more than private car users. This was mainly due to the extra distances travelled for business and commuting.

    Most UK residents use a car every day

    A 2018 Statista survey found that more than half of the UK residential population used a car every day. Only *** percent of respondents reported using a car less often than several times a year, with not *** never using such passenger vehicles.

    Area covered
    England
    Description

    Cars and vans were the most popular mode of transport for commuting purposes in England. In 2019, car and van drivers travelled an average of 782 miles per person per year, roughly three times the distance travelled by those using surface rail as a means of commuting. In Great Britain overall, the car was used by more than two thirds of commuters, by far the majority of those travelling to work. In the past three years, the popularity of the car was unchallenged.

    Train commutes the longest

    The average commuting time for those travelling via rail was an hour, which suggested that those using rail tended to do so when needing to traverse greater distances. By comparison, the average car commute was 26 minutes long in 2017.

    Company cars have greatest annual mileage

    The greatest commuting mileage of car drivers was covered by those driving company vehicles. In 2018, a company car user drove nearly four times the distance someone using a private car travelled.

    Description

    Accessible Tables and Improved Quality

    As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy, processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

    All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

    If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact us.

    Description

    Context

    The UK government amassed traffic data from 2000 and 2016, recording over 1.6 million accidents in the process and making this one of the most comprehensive traffic data sets out there. It's a huge picture of a country undergoing change.

    Note that all the contained accident data comes from police reports, so this data does not include minor incidents.

    Content

    ukTrafficAADF.csv tracks how much traffic there was on all major roads in the given time period (2000 through 2016). AADT, the core statistic included in this file, stands for "Average Annual Daily Flow", and is a measure of how activity a road segment based on how many vehicle trips traverse it. The AADT page on Wikipedia is a good reference on the subject.

    Accidents data is split across three CSV files: accidents_2005_to_2007.csv, accidents_2009_to_2011.csv, and accidents_2012_to_2014.csv. These three files together constitute 1.6 million traffic accidents. The total time period is 2005 through 2014, but 2008 is missing.

    A data dictionary for the raw dataset at large is available from the UK Department of Transport website here. For descriptions of individual columns, see the column metadata.

    Acknowledgements

    Inspiration

    • How has changing traffic flow impacted accidents?
    • Can we predict accident rates over time? What might improve accident rates?
    • Plot interactive maps of changing trends, e.g. How has London has changed for cyclists? Busiest roads in the nation?
    • Which areas never change and why? Identify infrastructure needs, failings and successes.
    • How have Rural and Urban areas differed (see RoadCategory)? How about the differences between England, Scotland, and Wales?
    • The UK government also like to look at miles driven. You can do this by multiplying the AADF by the corresponding length of road (link length) and by the number of days in the years. What does this tell you about UK roads?

    Description

    A number of files in the statistical data set pages accompanying this release were published prematurely in error for a brief period, due to a technical problem. These files were removed from the website as soon as the error became known.

    The NTS contains the latest results and trends on how and why people travel with breakdowns by age, gender and income. It also contains trends in driving licence holding; school travel; and concessionary travel.

    Update - 19 September 2013

    An error has been found in the data processing and calculation of household income quintiles. This error affects the NTS 2012 Statistical Release and tables NTS0703 to NTS0705. The error has been corrected and the affected Statistical Release and tables have been revised. We apologise for this error and any inconvenience caused by it.

    Main results

    Over the long term, trip rates increased until the mid-1990s, but have since fallen back to the 1970s level. In 2012, the average person made 954 trips per year compared to 956 in 1972/73 and 1,086 in 1995/97.

    In 2012, the average distance travelled was 6,691 miles which is 49% higher than in 1972/73, but 4% lower than in 1995/97. Average trip length was 7 miles.

    Since 1995/97, trips by private modes of transport fell by 14% while public transport modes increased by 2%. Walking trips fell by 27%.

    Most of the decline in overall trips rates between 1995/97 and 2012 is due to falls in shopping, visiting friends and commuting purposes.

    In 2012, trips by car (as a driver or passenger) accounted for 64% of all trips made and 78% of distance travelled.

    On average, females make more trips than males, but males travel much further each year. The average number of car driver trips and distance travelled by men is falling while those by women are increasing.

    Concessionary travel pass take-up was 79% of those eligible (82% of females and 74% of males); ranging from 66% in rural areas to 88% in London.

    People in the highest household income quintile group made 28% more trips than those in the lowest income quintile and travelled nearly 3 times further.

    Estimated average annual car mileage was 8,200 miles.

    2015 - 2030
    Area covered
    United Kingdom
    Description

    The Motor Vehicle Parts & Accessories Manufacturing industry remains healthy thanks to the aftermarket as UK car production dwindles. According to the SMMT, UK car manufacturers assembled 779,584 vehicles in 2024, a 13.9% decrease from 2023, with engine production down 7.1% in the same year. Car production between January and August 2025 fell further by 5.9% compared to the same period in 2024, reducing the volume of parts needed at factories. Sharp dips in car production in previous years, coupled with current struggles in the automotive sector, directly affect the volume of parts ordered. Foreign orders present some opportunities, but the competition for imports is fierce, reducing the market share of domestic manufacturers.

    Over the five years through 2025-26, industry revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 2% to £12 billion, when the average profit margin will be 6% and revenue growth of 2.2% in 2025-26. In 2024-25, revenue expanded thanks to aftermarket orders as car production sank. Higher car usage and the presence of older cars on UK roads lead to strong retail sales, keeping revenue strong for many car parts makers. Operating profit has narrowed amid rising input costs and low prices for vehicle parts and accessories, caused partly by the high degree of import penetration and substantial buying power held by car manufacturing giants like Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan and BMW. The threat of imports has compelled manufacturers to maintain competitive prices.

    The car parts market is set to perform well. Exports will rise in the coming years as supply chain disruptions dissipate. Fuel economy improvements, safety enhancements and the increasing sophistication of car technology will support vehicle part and accessory manufacturing, while the aftermarket will sustain essential repair sales. The number of vehicles on UK roads and miles driven will climb over the next decade, supporting demand for crucial parts and industry revenue growth. Component makers must adjust their operations to produce components for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, which will account for a higher share of domestic production as the UK focuses on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Revenue is anticipated to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.9% to reach £13.2 billion over the five years through 2030-31.
