Find out what your
number plate is worth
Free expert valuation, no obligation to sell
At RegHunters, our fast, free and expert-led valuation service is designed to help you find out exactly what your private registration is worth. Whether you have a cherished number plate, a personalised registration, or a newly purchased plate, we will tell you what it is truly worth in today's market.
Our team assesses your plate on style, demand, format, and similar registrations recently sold, helping you make an informed decision before you sell your number plate.
Our valuation gives you a fast and accurate estimate of your plate's current market value, using real sales data and expert industry insight, not guesswork.
Dateless, prefix, suffix or current style plates each carry different market values.
Shorter, more readable plates typically command higher prices. Names, initials and words add desirability.
We look at how many buyers are actively searching for similar plates and what comparable registrations have sold for.
A plate's format and era set the baseline, but the combination itself is what moves the price within that range. The guide below shows typical market ranges by plate type, ordered from most affordable to most valuable, with the single biggest factor that lifts each format toward the top of its range.
| Plate type | Example | Era | Typical range | What drives the value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current style | MA15 ONN | 2001 to present | from £250 to £11,500+ | Jumps in value when the letters spell a name or word |
| Northern Irish | JIL 7 | Dateless format | from £150 to £25,000+ | Popular initials and a short, low number lift the price sharply |
| Prefix style | P7 NNY | 1983 to 2001 | from around £400 to £20,000+ | Clean name spellings command a large premium over random combinations |
| Suffix style | JEN 88K | 1963 to 1983 | from around £400 to £20,000+ | A first name spelled in full is worth many times a plain combination |
| Dateless (4 characters) | CK 4477 | Pre-1963 | from £1,000 to £15,000+ | Recognisable initials and repeating numbers push toward the top |
| Dateless (3 characters) | AB 12 | Pre-1963 | from £3,000 to £40,000+ | Common two-letter initials with a low number are the most sought-after |
| Dateless (2 characters) | K 1 | Pre-1963 | £250,000 to £1,000,000+ | The rarest format: a single letter with the number 1 commands the most |
These figures are researched market estimates to give you a general sense of value by plate type, not RegHunters sale data or a valuation of your specific plate. Within every format, the biggest single factor is whether your combination spells a name, word or set of initials, which can multiply a plate's value far beyond the typical range shown.
