What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

RO02 BBY is a current-style registration issued in March 2002. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (02), and a three-letter random sequence. The 02 area code identifies it as originating from the Reading DVLA office, covering South East England. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in March 2002 or earlier — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
