Always having a passion for number plates, in 2009 we founded Motoreg
Over the past decade we have bought and sold over 10,000 plates with prices ranging from £15 to £100,000.
We pride ourselves in being a family run business and offering a good old fashioned service providing guidance when choosing and buying your perfect plate, and to complete the transfer onto your chosen vehicle.
When selling your registration number, we will research the market, and will always try to give you our honest valuation.
Having invested in the latest IT technology we have created a huge database of personalised number plates.
Over the years we have been able to purchase our own CDF number plates.
We are a recognised DVLA seller which means we must meet the strict codes and agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the DVLA.
Proud member of the Cherished Numbers Guild — your assurance of quality and integrity.

Don't just take our word for it — here's what our customers say.
"I'd had a plate for a while that I no longer needed so finally decided to sell. Contacted a couple of different brokers, Motoreg (and Nick in particular!) were outstanding in that it felt like a personal service from start to finish."

"Unusual these days to find a genuine friendly business. This company stands head and shoulders above all I have come across. Wanted to sell a number plate, agreed to sell on Monday, sale agreed — brilliant!"

"Couldn't have had a better service from Nick when selling my plate, he kept me up to date every day until he sold it for me, for my asking price. Totally worth doing business with his company."

Buyers FAQs
Can I buy a private number plate as a gift?
Yes, personal and cherished number plates make memorable gifts. You can buy a plate for someone else, and we’ll help with the DVLA paperwork so the registration is assigned to their vehicle when they’re ready.
Do private number plates keep their value?
Many do. Short, catchy, or dateless number plates often increase in value over time. If you choose wisely, your private registration can be both a personal statement and a long-term investment.
How long does it take to get my new number plate?
Transfers are usually completed within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on DVLA processing times. We handle the admin, keep you informed, and make sure the process runs smoothly from purchase to display on your vehicle.
Sellers FAQs
Can I sell my private number plate if it's not on a vehicle?
Yes. You can sell a plate that’s on a retention certificate. This means the number plate is stored with the DVLA and ready to be assigned to another vehicle once a buyer is found.
Will MOTOREG advertise my number plate for me?
Absolutely. Once you list your plate with us, it becomes visible to thousands of buyers searching for number plates for sale every month. Our platform is like a link between genuine buyers and sellers.
Are there fees when I sell my number plate?
We believe in clear, transparent pricing. Any fees are explained before you list your plate, so you know exactly what to expect. That way, you only pay for a service that helps you sell faster and securely.
