Price guide

How much is my number plate worth?

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.

FAQs

Number plate valuation FAQs

How much is my number plate worth?

There is no fixed price for a private number plate. Its value comes from a combination of factors, and two plates of the same format can be worth very different amounts. The main things that determine what your plate is worth are:

Format and era – dateless plates are generally the most valuable, followed by suffix, prefix and current style.
Length – the fewer characters, the rarer and more desirable the plate.
What it spells – a clear name, word or set of initials can multiply the value far beyond a random combination.
The numbers – low numbers, especially the number 1, carry a strong premium.
Demand – common initials and popular names appeal to more buyers, which pushes the price up.

Use the price guide table above for typical ranges by plate type, then enter your reg in the form at the top of the page for a free, accurate valuation of your specific plate based on current buyer demand.
