      "limitations": [
        "BITRE does not publish a standalone ute vehicle class.",
        "The taxonomy deliberately excludes ambiguous model families that can contain wagon, van or other body styles.",
        "Toyota LandCruiser, Nissan Patrol and Land Rover Defender records are excluded because model-level registration data does not isolate ute bodies.",

      "Models outside BITRE's published top light-commercial makes are not available in the monthly table.",
      "Light commercial totals include vans and other vehicles and are shown only as the index coverage denominator.",
