Cherished plate
Adamirish - 16/11/15 at 07:42 PM

Hi, I've done a quick search and can't find a definitive answer.

I quite fancy a private plate but unsure what I can use. My kit was registered in 2007 but has a 'D' plate on the car. Can I go as far as an age related plate or am I stuck with anything pre D registration? My thinking is it was registered in 07 so surely classed as a new vehicle, therefore should be able to use an age related plate or up to that.

Or am I just talking rubbish and completely wrong?

Thanks in advance

You're stuck with D or earlier plate.

Yup, correct - what he said ^^^

3rds here unfortunately. It is on that age related plate. At least its not a Q Plate. Although, arguably Q are the rarest and most special plates of all!

To get a new plate the car needs to have been built from all new major components (1 can be recon'd to 'as new' ), so if the car had a donor, thats what age is used. Other wise an IVA would be a cheap and quick way of making a brand new looking car out of any old tat!

Thats great, thanks for the replies!

I guess it all makes sense really. At least I know where I stand.

Thanks again!

You can use ageless number plates though if you fancy.
