Age of ambulance vehicles

The request was successful.

Dear South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust,

I would like to know how many ambulance vehicles owned by the trust have been in use for seven years or more and how that relates to the total number of ambulances in the fleet.

E.g Of the 100 ambulances we operate 15 have been in use for 7 years or more.

I would also like to know how long the oldest vehicle in the fleet has been in operation.

Yours faithfully,
Alex Rhodes
