The line graph compares the share of households in Great Britain that owned no car, one car, two cars, and three or more cars, between 1971 and 2007.

Overall, car ownership became more common over the period, as the percentage of households with no car fell sharply, while the proportions of households with two or more cars rose. Households with one car remained the largest group for most of the period, with its share staying relatively stable.

In 1971, nearly half of British households (48%) did not have regular access to a car, which was the highest figure among the four categories. However, this proportion declined steadily to around 25% by 2007. By contrast, the share of households with two cars saw a substantial increase from just 7% in 1971 to roughly 26% in 2007, becoming comparable to the figure for no-car households by the end of the period.

The proportion of households with one car fluctuated slightly but remained stable at around 44% over the three decades, making it the most common household car ownership status after the early 1970s. Meanwhile, the percentage of households with three or more cars increased gradually from a negligible 1% in 1971 to about 6% in 2007, remaining the least common category throughout the period.
