Singapore's car population has aged noticeably in the last decade, a trend that has ramped up business for vehicle workshops.
According to Land Transport Authority (LTA) statistics, the number of cars nine years or older stood at 163,323 as at end-2017, making up 26.7 per cent of the car population. In 2007, there were 30,529 such cars, which accounted for 5.9 per cent of the car population.
