We have also created a handy guide for you, which explains how to use the tool, and why UK number plates carry age identifiers. To use it you will first need to know the registration mark currently on the vehicle and our tool works by selecting the date your vehicle was first registered from a drop-down menu, then showing you which registrations are suitable by displaying a green tick or a red cross.
