Frequently Asked Questions

• What could COL 18Y represent? +
  Many people would see COL 18Y as representing the name or word Libby. As with all personalised number plates, the registration has no official meaning — it is a combination of letters and numbers issued by the DVLA that buyers choose for its personal significance.

• Why are some COL 18Y listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
  Some dealers advertise plates with a headline figure such as “from £200”, which can refer to their minimum site-wide price rather than an actual price for COL 18Y. The genuine market value of COL 18Y reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists COL 18Y at £5,846 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find COL 18Y legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.

• When was COL 18Y first issued? +
  COL 18Y was first made available at a DVLA auction in July 2019, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.
