Plate Details

CA55 TER is a current-style registration issued in September 2005. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (55), and a three-letter random sequence. The 55 area code identifies it as originating from the Cardiff DVLA office, covering Wales. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after September 2005 — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.

Investment & Value

CA55 TER is a current-style registration. While the current format is still issued, specific combinations with strong personal associations — particularly short, meaningful initials — command significant premiums on the secondary market. The combination Assterr and Aasteer is a common name, which significantly increases demand — plates that clearly represent popular names consistently attract competitive bidding and hold their value well. CA55 TER has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in September 2011. DVLA auction appearances are selected by the DVLA for their perceived desirability — it is a recognised mark of a plate's collectability and historical market recognition. Personalised number plates are a tangible, portable asset. Unlike most purchases, a desirable plate retains and can appreciate in value over time.
