We found too few close matches in our movement data to price this from direct comparables, so the estimate leans on typical values for the format, adjusted for the read and the numbers. Treat it as a starting point rather than a benchmark.

Search interest on our own site for this read has been quiet over the last three months (0 searches), which feeds the demand side of the picture.

Because this is a dateless plate, we priced it against its own kind: 665 DVLA auction hammer prices for 4 digit 2 letter registrations, with a typical (median) result of £2,860.
