Plate Details

NOS 3T is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter T at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1978 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, NOS 3T can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1978. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

NOS 3T was first made available in 1979. The original issuing office for this combination is Wigtown C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What could NOS 3T represent? +
  Many people would see NOS 3T as representing the name or word Soot or Set. 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.
• Is NOS 3T available to buy, and what does it cost? +

• When was NOS 3T first issued? +

• Can I put NOS 3T on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. NOS 3T can be assigned to a vehicle first registered on or after 1978 — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered before that date.

• What does NOS 3T mean as a personalised plate? +
  As a personalised number plate, NOS 3T is most often chosen because it reads as the name or word Soot. The DVLA issues registrations based on a formula of letters and numbers — the personal meaning comes from how buyers interpret the combination. NOS 3T is a popular choice for anyone named Soot or with a personal or professional connection to that word.
