Pre-Owned Number Plate Listings
Registrations previously owned by private individuals and businesses, now available to buy again. Some are marketed by our own team, others are sold directly by independent dealers, and every listing is clearly labelled.
Pre-owned number plates are registrations that have previously been owned by private individuals or businesses, and are now available to purchase again. Listings on this page come from two sources, and every plate is clearly labelled so you always know who you are dealing with.
Concierge service plates are marketed by our own team. We handle every enquiry and negotiate the sale on the seller’s behalf, and each plate is checked against its V750 or V778 certificate before it appears here. The DVLA transfer is then completed between buyer and seller, with our team on hand throughout.
Dealer listings are sold directly by independent dealers on our marketplace. You deal with the seller from the first enquiry, and each listing page explains the checks worth making before you buy. Dealers marked ID verified have passed our paid identity check, and we hold verified ID documents for them on file.
Whether you’re after something short and distinctive or simply a personalised touch for your vehicle, pre-owned plates give you access to rare, desirable or previously unavailable combinations, often at more affordable prices than brand-new issues.
