> The average age of a passenger car in Germany is ~6.7 years. From a US perspective that number is insanely low! The average age of a car in the US was 11.6 years in 2016.[1] The average US driver drives 13.5k miles (21.7 km) per year[2] so that means the average car in the US would have around 156k miles (251k km) on its clock. I wonder if the German number is skewed lower because it's only measuring a relatively wealthy part of the EU. Do most used German cars simply get exported to less wealthy parts of the EU instead of being re-sold within Germany?
