Number Plate Confusion

A SURVEY by Auto Trader reveals that Brits don’t know the age of their own vehicles, with one in four [26%] UK car owners unable to identify the month and year in which their vehicle was registered.

Furthermore, one in ten [11%] British drivers freely admit they cannot identify the age of a vehicle by its number plate. This could lead to buyers paying over and above the true value of a used car, as vehicles tend to depreciate with every month and year off the forecourt.

When the Auto Trader study presented respondents with an example of a future registration plate, one in four respondents [27%] could not identify the month in which the vehicle would be released, and a similar figure [21%] could not identify the registration year. The Auto Trader study found that there is general confusion on vehicle age, with over one in ten drivers [12%] believing that new cars are introduced in January of each year, instead of March and September.
