Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of number plate is MAT 1R? +

• Why are some MAT 1R 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 MAT 1R. The genuine market value of MAT 1R reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists MAT 1R at £13,490 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find MAT 1R legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.
• What is included when I buy MAT 1R from NewReg? +
  Your purchase of MAT 1R from NewReg includes: full DVLA transfer service — we handle all paperwork on your behalf at no extra charge beyond the standard DVLA transfer fee, a certificate of entitlement, and road-legal acrylic number plates. The £80 DVLA transfer fee is shown separately at checkout and paid direct to the DVLA. NewReg has been a DVLA-recognised reseller and CNDA member since 1991.
• When was MAT 1R first issued? +
  MAT 1R was first made available at a DVLA auction in March 2013, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.

Under DVLA rules, MAT 1R can be placed on any vehicle first registered in 1976 or earlier.
• Can I put MAT 1R on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. MAT 1R can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1976 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
