Frequently Asked Questions

• What could MEL 3K represent? +
  Many people would see MEL 3K as representing the name or word Lock. 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.
• Where is the cheapest place to buy MEL 3K? +
  NewReg.co.uk currently lists MEL 3K at £25,995, with a total all-in cost from £26,075 including the £80 DVLA transfer fee. NewReg operates a price match guarantee — if you find the same plate advertised cheaper by another dealer, we will beat that price. Full DVLA transfer handling is included at no extra charge beyond the £80 DVLA fee.
• Why are some MEL 3K 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 MEL 3K. The genuine market value of MEL 3K reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists MEL 3K at £25,995 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find MEL 3K legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.
• What is included when I buy MEL 3K from NewReg? +
  Your purchase of MEL 3K 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 MEL 3K first issued? +
  MEL 3K was first made available at a DVLA auction in October 2015, when the registration was released to the public for the first time. Separately, the plate format identifies MEL 3K as a 1971 registration — this determines which vehicles it can be assigned to. Under DVLA rules, MEL 3K can be placed on any vehicle first registered in 1971 or earlier.
• Can I put MEL 3K on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. MEL 3K can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1971 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
• Does NewReg offer a price guarantee on MEL 3K? +
  Yes. NewReg guarantees you will not find MEL 3K advertised cheaper by any other UK dealer. If you do find a lower price for the same plate, we will beat it — our guarantee covers the full cost including the plate rights, VAT, and the DVLA transfer fee.

• Has MEL 3K ever appeared at a DVLA auction? +
