Private Registration Question?

[S8KKB]

Chaps,

bit of a random thought/ question;

does the year a car is registered really define the personalised registrations allowed to be transferred onto it??

So;

IF a car carrys a "55" plate registration since manufacture, but it was actually "registered" in 2006.. COULD you transfer a private "06" reg onto it ??

this shouldn't really sway my decision to buy a car...but i think it might just...

I believe you cannot transfer a plate onto a car that is newer than the car so the answer is ,no 06 plate for the 55 plate turd.

You cannot put a newer plate on a car ie, make the car look newer. End of. Plate has to be of the same reg date range or older.

thought so..

damn dvla! why can't the cars have the right plates on!!!

They do! Only people want to put the wrong plates on them!
