The table below gives information on households with a regular use of a car in Great Britain from 1971 to 2007.

The line graph makes a comparison between the usage of different numbers of motorised vehicles made by individuals in the UK over the past almost 4 decades between 1971 and 2007. At the onset, transport ownership rose between 1971 and 2007 in Great Britain. Households with one car remained steady. Households without cars experienced a significant decline, while the figures for individuals with more than one vehicle, such as two cars and three or more automobiles' ownership, showed steep growth. In 1971, almost 50% of inhabitants did not have vehicles. About 44% of households owned one car; on the contrary, a very small number of people had two personal vehicles. It was not common to possess three or more automobiles during this period; nearly 2% of families fell into this category. Households with one car saw varying changes in the statistics, although the figures for this type of resident stood at the same level until 2007. The proportion of the population without a vehicle declined significantly, by about 25% over the period of 36%. In contrast, two-car ownership rose to almost 26%. In 2007, the percentage of three or more motorized vehicles’ possession grew by 5% from 2% to 7%.
