Registering Private Reg Plates - Stoney - 21-09-2017
Hi there,
Wandered if anybody on here was knowledgeable about private plates and such. My perfect plate is about to come up for sale, however, it is of a **10 *** format.
Does this mean I can only register it onto a car registered in 2010 onward? I think it does, and I am not very happy about it!
Does anyone know of any possible way around this? Would it be possible in any way to register a 2010 plate onto an older (say 02-03) car? Maybe be telling the DVLA it was exported, scrapped or cat C, and then re-register it? I have had cars before that for one reason or another have a year on the V5 that is blatantly not the original year of manufacture.
Anyone?

Yes you can only register this on a 2010 vehicle.
You may also put this on retension this way you could hold the plate until you have a 2010 or 2010+ car to put it on.

There will be no number plate with 10 in it I read.
It will go 59, 11 march '10, 60 sept 10', 61 march 11', 62 sept '11 and so on.
But thats what i read it may not be true.

Agree With LB, buy it and hold it on retention till you get a new enough car,.

Won't it just be 10 and 60 for 2010, then 11 and 61 for 2011, 12 and 62 for 2012 etc ?

The DVLA website has just started showing the upcoming "10" registrations that they'll be selling, and according to the page here, they'll be on the road from March 1st.
