Number Plates Years

[ToXIcG]

Just a random question but does anyone know why you can make a car look older by putting an older plate on but you can't make a car look newer, is it to do with selling it?

Putting a newer reg on would be classed as misrepresentation / fraud.

From the DVLA website:

Conditions to put a registration number on a vehicle

You can’t:

• put a private number onto a ‘Q’ registered vehicle
• make the vehicle look newer than it is

Must be because of fraud issues like Clive said.

Yeah this is what I saw on the website and just wondered why, I guessed something like fraud.

Not sure what the deal with the 'Q' reg vehicles is!

A Q plate is to recognise that the vehicle is an amalgamation of parts from other vehicles to the extent that it's original identity is not clear.
A standard or personalised plate are not permitted, it must be a Q plate only.
