Understanding the number plate years

Counting_Pennies_2

I wonder if you can help.

I am currently looking to buy a particular car dating before October 2010.

I am slightly confused by the number plate years of 10 and 59. We don't want a 60 because of the specification change on the car we want, but not sure if 10 or 59 is the oldest.

Would anyone mind letting me know the dates of these two.

Many thanks

and while you're at it, if you could find a webpage that lists the numberplates and their respective dates I'd be interested in that.

Thanks for that it is really helpful.

I have just been on to the website and sadly got virus warnings all over the place, but thanks for the understanding of the number plates.

Good to know 10 is younger than 59

I didn't get any virus warnings, your's is probably too sensitive

We finally change to non-age identifier plates like the rest of the world?

Cars will be banned.


I would guess they will swap them round so it becomes LLL ## LL, or they could add another number digit.

This car registrations website has all the year letters from 1963 onwards.

The reg plate won't always give away the year of manufacture though - leftover cars are often sold with newer plates. So the spec you want *may* be available on a 60 plate

The long list above is not quite complete, cars registered between Jan 1st and Feb 28 (29)th, have the previous sept 1st year plate?
For example; My sisters Fiesta is 2010 59 reg while my Fiesta is 2010 10 reg, but a Fiesta (any model will do) registered Sept 2010 will have a 60 plate......simples
