In Germany only ~33% of new cars are bought privately, the rest from companies.

In Finland in 2019, 625000 used cars were sold vs. 114200 new car registrations. I believe these include both private and company cars, though.

This would be 85% used cars, 15% new cars.

The average age of a bought used car was 13.3 years.

Those are company cars. Privately purchased cars are indeed bought used, overwhelmingly so.

Cars previously used by businesses sold by leasing providers after 2-3 years of usage, mostly. Many of these are sold by Volkswagen Financial Services and include factory warranty. It's an easy way to get a car as good as new 30-50% cheaper.

Rental cars, company cars, old people cars.
