What Are Cherished Number Plates and Why Should One Buy Them
Cherished number plates are unique vehicle registrations that have stood the test of time. They often carry historic significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal, making them much more than just a functional registration. Enthusiasts, collectors, and car owners value them for the prestige, individuality, and style they provide.
Buying a cherished number plate allows you to create a personalised and distinctive vehicle identity. Certain plates can grow in investment value, while others hold cultural or historic significance.

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.
