Age-related plate

[DannyCutts]

Thanks for the reply looks like I will have to trawl through all the info on the site... lets hope I find something :-)

Although I have not looked into this subject in any depth, I always understood that the personal plate had to be the same age or older than the allocated plate.

I think the idea of an age related plate is to indicate the age of the vehicle (or the main components of the vehicle) not the build/registration date. In the eyes of the jobsworth gods at DVLA, putting on a younger personal plate would go against this concept, and might confuse poor old Jo public!

Well you see that is what I thought, but there is nothing on my V5 to say what the year is....

If I cant move the plate to the buggy its not a big deal its just I rather have it on there than anything else :-)

Nothing on the V5 except the registration itself which as an end V means 1979. Worth asking the question but I think the answer will be "no" as we both expect.

You are not thinking like a 'Jobsworth' would!
If the buggy shows a first registration date of 2003, then the 1995 registration should be allowed to be transferred on to it. Simple - its all in the paperwork.Follow the procedure!
