Prefix number plates are a classic part of British motoring history — instantly recognisable by their format, such as “A123 ABC”, where the first letter represents the year of issue. Released between 1983 and 2001, prefix registrations remain one of the most popular and affordable ways to own a personalised plate.
These plates strike the perfect balance between heritage and individuality, allowing you to incorporate initials, names, or short words into a registration that still feels modern.
At BuyPrivatePlates.uk, you can browse thousands of available prefix private plates, check live prices, and complete your purchase securely in minutes. Every registration includes DVLA documentation, full transfer support, and optional assistance assigning your new plate to a vehicle or retention certificate.
Whether you want something discreet or a bold talking point, prefix plates offer style, flexibility, and a touch of nostalgia — without breaking the bank.
Super quick and completely stress-free!” I found my perfect plate within minutes, paid online, and the team handled everything with the DVLA straight away. The whole process was smooth and much faster than I expected — highly recommend!

“Brilliant service from start to finish.” I was a bit nervous about buying a private plate online, but the communication was excellent and every step was clearly explained. My registration was transferred in just a few days.

“Professional, helpful, and reliable.” I needed a specific plate as a birthday gift and these guys made it easy. They even helped ensure the transfer was completed before the big day. Great service and very professional throughout.

“So easy compared to dealing with the DVLA directly.” The website was straightforward to use, the checkout secure, and the support team answered all my questions quickly. I’ll definitely use them again when I buy my next plate.
