What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

CR12 OFT is a current-style registration issued in March 2012. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (12), and a three-letter random sequence. The 12 area code identifies it as originating from the Swansea DVLA office, covering Wales. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in March 2012 or earlier — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.

Registration History

CR12 OFT was first made available in March 2012, issued by the Swansea DVLA office covering Wales. CR12 OFT has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in May 2024. The DVLA cherished transfer programme was launched in 1989, opening previously reserved registrations to the public for the first time. Plates are selected for DVLA auctions based on their perceived collectability and desirability — an auction appearance is a recognised indicator of a registration's historical market standing and collector appeal.
