What is "Reg plate"?

Question

I want to sell my car and I'm filling a form where I have to enter reg plate with as an example "Y". If its not the full plate number, which letter is it? Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

the first letter of your plate number I think.

Answer 2

It indicates what year your car was made. For example Y reg would be year 2000- 20001.

Its the first letter on older cars.

These days (newer cars) the year is showed in the 3 and 4 number for example 51 is 2001

Answer 3

think its defo the first letter

Answer 4

It means the registration letter. As an example, with a suffix plate, eg, ABC 123 D, the registration letter is 'D', referring to 1966. This was the case up until 1982, when the registration letter swapped to the start, eg A 123 BCD was reistered in 1982/1983. The next year, it would be B 123 BCD, then C 123 BCD, etc, up until 2001, when the new codes came into effect, there being two registrations per year;

AB 51 CDE is registered in 2001. AB 02 CDE & AB 52 CDE are registered from March 2002 & September 2002 respectively, being '02' and '52' plates, up to the current AB 08 CDE. AB 58 CDE will come out in September this year.
