How is this report compiled?

Autotrender records every bike listing on Autotrader UK twice a day. A bike counts as sold when its advert is removed; its sold price is the final asking price before removal and days to sell run from the advert's listing date. All figures are medians, and a model's price or speed move is only reported when it had at least 30 sales in both months. The report is recomputed after every scan.
