MEF 1L was first made available in October 2015. The original issuing office for this combination is West Hartlepool C.B.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. MEF 1L has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in October 2015. 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.
