The president of the Russian Automobile Dealers Association (ROAD), Alexey Podshchekolddin, stated this at a press conference in Moscow. According to his data, the share of cars older than 10 years in Russia exceeded 72% by the end of 2025.
According to him, in order for the vehicle fleet in Russia to rejuvenate, sales of new cars should be 3 million units annually.
“What happened in 2015 – the share of cars older than 10 years was 49%, and in 2025 it became 72%, the fleet has aged almost twice. And if we take LCV, then it was 58.8%, [стало] “76%,” said Podshchekoldin.
The average age of a car in use in Russia is currently 16-17 years, the head of the Road Traffic Safety Inspectorate said. If car sales in Russia amount to 3 million units per year, in 10 years a fleet of 30 million cars less than 10 years old will be formed, he pointed out.
