This exact registration has been through a DVLA auction (June-Timed-Online-Auction), hammering at £2,000. Hammer prices are real money changing hands: the strongest single anchor any valuation can have.
We hold 10 auction hammer prices sharing these letters, with a median of £2,000 – but those are different plate formats to this one (only 2 match this format). What carries the letters decides most of the price, and the marks that reach auction skew toward the desirable carriers, so these are shown as context and do not set the band below.

Alongside that, our estimate draws on 222 priced movements from similar AD-block plates in our DVLA stock tracking, with a typical (median) price of £250. Worth knowing: these are DVLA retail asking prices for NEW stock at fixed price bands, so the resale market usually prices above them once a plate is no longer available new.
