Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of number plate is MEL 5X? +
  MEL 5X is a Suffix style number plate (letters + number + letter). Personalised number plates have no official meaning — they are combinations of letters and numbers issued by the DVLA.
• Where is the cheapest place to buy MEL 5X? +
  NewReg.co.uk currently lists MEL 5X at £20,495, with a total all-in cost from £20,575 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. Finance is also available from approximately £1,717 per month (0% APR, subject to status).
• Why are some MEL 5X 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 5X. The genuine market value of MEL 5X reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists MEL 5X at £20,495 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find MEL 5X legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.
• What is included when I buy MEL 5X from NewReg? +
  Your purchase of MEL 5X 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 5X first issued? +
  MEL 5X was first made available at a DVLA auction in July 2019, when the registration was released to the public for the first time. Separately, the plate format identifies MEL 5X as a 1981 registration — this determines which vehicles it can be assigned to. Under DVLA rules, MEL 5X can be placed on any vehicle first registered in 1981 or earlier.
• Can I put MEL 5X on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. MEL 5X can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1981 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
