Plate Details

COD 3E is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter E at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1967 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, COD 3E can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1967 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

COD 3E was first made available in May 2024. The original issuing office for this combination is Devon C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. COD 3E has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in May 2024. The DVLA cherished transfer programme was launched in 1989, opening previously reserved registrations to the public for the first time. Plates are selected for DVLA auctions based on their perceived collectability and desirability — an auction appearance is a recognised indicator of a registration's historical market standing and collector appeal.

• Can I put COD 3E on my car? +

• What does COD 3E mean as a personalised plate? +

COD 3E is a popular choice for anyone named Doe or with a personal or professional connection to that word.
