Distribution of heavy goods vehicles in the United Kingdom (UK) between 2010/2011 and 2012/2013, by number of axles
These figures came from the governmental VOSA annual tests. The source states: There is a discrepancy between vehicles registered and those presented for annual test as newly registered vehicles do not need to be tested for 12 months. As a result the numbers registered will always be higher than those tested.
