Are these Reg. Nos miss-spaced?

It looks more like a 1980s letter prefix reg to me!

What Reg Numbers?



Edit.
Thanks to the OP for editting the pictures in

It looks correct to me but the J11 creating an illusion of slipped letter.  Difficult to tell for sure from a photo.  Why do you ask? 
What do you think is wrong about it?

Looks ok to me, the gap between the B and J looks consistent with the other gaps.

Looks fine... the number 1 naturally and legally is a narrower value than any other and so the J11 looks densely packed and if you look across the top the BJ naturally looks more spaced because firstly it is and secondly the upper half of the J is just an upward stroke on the far right of the letter. If however you look along the bottom the gap between each letter/number looks consistent.

If someone was trying to mess about with the spacing to spell/highlight something I'd more expect someone to try and "show off" the BJ element rather than try to break it up which is what if anything the registration looks like.

Looks correct to me.
Why do you ask when it is obviously not your car? Are you looking to snitch on your neighbour?

Perfectly fine.  A "J" always looks wrong.  "AJ" would look even worse.

OP,...70’s/80’s number plates had a different format to that of “BJ11 NKK”

I can’t see anything amiss with that plate,...format or otherwise;...it’s a red Fiat Panda, registered in 2011, currently SORN’d but with MOT till Sept’21.

I saw an elderly  Ford Focus ST2 just a couple of days ago that had a reg beginning with S12;...however, the 1 had been doctored to look like a T using two stretegicaly placed black screw covers,... S12 XYZ had become ST2 XYZ. It was very carefully done and I could only see the ‘deception’ when I was close behind it at traffic lights.

I wonder what an ANPR camera would make of that particular number plate?

It's quite "common" around here - surprised more don't get pulled, seems like easy money that the Police are ignoring

They're EVERYWHERE.  I recently bought a new plate for a trailer - I had to send proof of ID and proof of ownership and there was no option to space the plate differently.

So these people must go to a lot of extra effort to get illegally spaced plates and for what?!  I just do not understand.

I knew a guy a few years ago who drove a little Merc sports car with the reg A13 USE.

However, he’d got rid of the gaps and put the 1 & 3 so close together they’d become a ‘B’

The number plate, to all intents and purposes, was ‘ABUSE’ ;....who in their right mind would think that’s a good idea ‽
