RO02 VER for Sale

What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

RO02 VER 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.

Registration History

RO02 VER was first made available in March 2002, issued by the Reading DVLA office covering South East England. RO02 VER has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in June 2015. 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.
