Prepared internally, no external costs.

Request

For each of the last three years please provide the number of cars exported from the island broken down by:

Type of exporter.

Age of car by thre year band.

Response

The Government of Jersey does not record the type of exporter; therefore this information is not held and Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

The requested information is shown in the following table:

Amount and age of cars declared as exported in 2022 and 2023
Age of Car	2022	2023
0-3 Years	207	123
3-6 Years	168	117
6-9 Years	140	136
9-12 Years	96	112
12-15 Years	102	75
15-18 Years	94	103
18-20 Years	82	79
20-23 Years	53	48
Over 23 Years	88	92
Total	1,030	885

Please note that it is not possible to provide the figures for 2021 due to a change in the systems used.

The previous system is not configured in a way that will allow extraction of the details requested for 2021. A manual search of records would be required in order to complete and verify this information.

It has been estimated that to provide the information requested would exceed the 12.5 hours allowed for Freedom of Information responses in accordance with Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.
