Cheap Private Number Plates Styles

At Absolute Reg, we supply every type of DVLA number plate you could think of. This means you have a variety of styles and prices to choose from when trying to buy a cheap private plate. 

See for yourself which cheap number plate style you can get your hands on which best suits you and your car.

Current/New Style

The DVLA issued the current style number plates in 2001. These are also known as new-style number plates. There are thousands of current or new style registrations for you to decide from that are cheap. 

The current style uses 2 letters at the beginning, representing the area of the issuing plate. This is followed by 2 numbers (either a 0 or a 5) and the year date.

Suffix Style

Suffix-style registration plates were first issued in 1963 and ran till 1982. They contain a letter at the end of the registration plate as an age identifier for the vehicle.

As part of the registration, letters were used to identify age. For example, registrations that ended with an A represented 1963, and registrations ending in Y represented 1982.

Prefix Style

Prefix number plates were first issued in August 1983 after seeing the suffix registration marks expire from the issue. Prefix registrations are most popular in the private number plate market.

Much like suffix registrations, the starting character in a prefix number plate relates to the issue year. For example, if A is the first letter of the registration, it represents 1983.

Dateless Style

In 1904, the DVLA decided to fit a registration mark on every vehicle, so they have been around for a while. At Absolute Reg, we pride ourselves in selling private registrations of all levels of affordability, and you can therefore find many cheap dateless private plates for less than £400.

The first dateless private number plates were issued in 2 batches. The ordinary dateless number plate, and then a reversed dateless number plate.

Northern Irish

Northern Ireland registration marks are an outstanding way to hide the age of your vehicle. These are usually among the cheapest number plates you can buy for under £200, as many owners pay nothing for them in the first place. There is an abundance of plates, keeping prices low and affordable for you when you buy your personalised registration!

All Northern Irish registrations are also dateless. Therefore, they’re highly sought after and often soar in value as time goes on.

Cheap Number Plates FAQ

Can I put my number plate on straight away?

Before putting your brand-new cheap private number plate on, you need to get it approved. When you purchase any new number plate, you need to send an application, so your plate is officially approved for use. Once the application has been accepted, you are good to go.

Do you have to pay to put cheap number plates on a car?

It's completely free to apply to change your number plate. You just need to complete the application form and send it away. 

Don't forget to apply to remove your old number plate through, or it will be deemed invalid.

Can I put my number plate on any car?

Since registration numbers are issued from the DVLA they must meet the correct format they set for all registration plates. For example, a number plate cannot make the vehicle seem newer than it is.
