There is a huge difference between these two statements:

> most people keep cars for 20 years or more

and

> the average age of a scrapped car in the UK is between 16 and 20 years old

Because the second fact doesn't tell you whether or not the 1st fact is true. After all, there is a second hand market where you can find cars of every age.
