Everything You Need to Know About Prefix Number Plates

Your go-to guide for purchasing affordable and stylish prefix number plates in the UK.

Understanding Prefix Number Plates

Prefix number plates were introduced in August 1983 and used until August 2001. They feature a starting letter that identifies the vehicle’s age, followed by up to three numbers and then three letters. This format offers plenty of ways to personalise your vehicle while still indicating its age. You can see other number plate options here.

Benefits of Prefix Number Plates

Choosing a prefix number plate comes with several advantages:

  • Distinctive Look: The format stands out and adds character to your vehicle.
  • Age Indication: The first letter provides a quick reference to the year of registration.
  • Wide Variety: Millions of combinations make it easy to find something meaningful.
  • Affordability: Prefix plates are often more affordable than current style plates.

Choosing the Right Prefix Plate

When selecting your prefix number plate, consider the following:

  • Leading Letter: Pick a letter that holds personal meaning or matches the vehicle’s age.
