Plate Details

PA72 SON is a current-style registration issued in September 2022. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (72), and a three-letter random sequence. The 72 area code identifies it as originating from the Preston DVLA office, covering North West England. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after September 2022 — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
