C Reg Year

August 1st 1985 – July 31st 1986

If the C is a prefix plate (C at the front), then that means the vehicle was registered for road use between 1st August 1985 and 31st July 1986.

If it’s a suffix plate (C at the end), then the vehicle was registered between 1st January 1965 and 31st December 1965.

This is assuming, of course, that the C reg is the original registration issued to the vehicle. It’s possible to obscure the age of the vehicle by attaching a personalised plate to it.

E Reg Year
