Agreed, nothing wrong with a private plate.

it just means the car was first registered with the private plate on it - perfectly normal.

thank you, that is what i thought but it gives same date for first reg and for the no. plates change, so what can it mean?

also 2005 and 3 owners, oh hate buying used cars

As others have said, the first owner put a private plate on the car immediately upon buying it. It's quite possible that they drove straight from the dealership to the DVLA and did the plates there and then. No big deal.

3 owners in 5-6 years doesnt sound too bad, though I can see why it might make you nervous. What car is it?

As a bonus, the date that the private plate was removed is probably the data that the first owner sold the car, so now you should have the dates of both ownership transfers which may give more clue as to the car's history.

it doesnt say anything about plate removed (or it just wont?)
and the plate which comes with car doesnt look unike, it is very random,

also hpi value is 1000 more than price for car 2500
it is megane estate
again never had renault, stack to skoda but the prices went so high,
were are the times when skoda was hated cheap car?:rotfl:

All of them, stick with your Skoda's.

I bet the private plate was PEN 1 5, if it was on a Renault.:D

Lets just say that if we ever make the shift to electric cars it will be the death of Renault...

...and probably anyone who drives their cars.
