What Number Plate Styles Are Available?
New/Current Style
The new/current style of number plate was introduced by the DVLA in 2001. This is because, with prefix plates, you can more easily hide the age of the vehicle. With these plates, it’s the first two letters that denote the area. Then, the next two numbers reveal the car’s age.
Prefix Style
Prefix style number plates were introduced in the 80s after the DVLA started to run out of suffix combinations. As the name suggests, it’s the letter at the start that reveals the car’s age. For example, ‘A’ refers to 1983 and so on.
Suffix Style
Demand for vehicles grew in the 1960s and, as such, the DVLA had to introduce suffix style plates. Again, as the name suggests, it’s the letter at the end of the plate that denotes the age, so ‘A’ refers to 1963.
Dateless
The DVLA introduced dateless number plates in 1903. They were issued so that they could track the vehicles that were on the road. There aren’t many restrictions when it comes to the order of numbers and letters. As a result, you can be more creative with your combinations.
