Number Plate sales

Ok, so the day has come that I have decided to scrap my 34yr old
CD175, but does anyone know of anywhere or sites that I can perhaps
find out if the number plate is worth anything?

TIA

If it has no MOT, it is worthless.

So does the number then become DVLA's property?

 

Tell that to the people buying and selling MOTless bikes on ebay.

I think so, yes. It goes back into the pool for re-issue.

To transfer number plates, the vehicle must have a valid MoT.

You can transfer it to a "retention certificate" and then scrap the
donor vehicle (I think), but the vehicle must have a valid MoT at the
time of the transfer of the plate from it.

 

Depends on the reasons they're buying them. Could be restoration,
spares, track bikes, ground locks.

To put an MOT on a bike isn't that difficult, although MOT stations with
rolling roads can make it more of a challenge.

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

AFAIR this should read "... or the MOT must have expired in the last
six months". If it's longer since the MOT run out you've got a problem
if you want to transfer the number.

Oh dear, I think the bike is past that, off to the scrap heap then
:-(

What's it failed, or likely to fail, on? There's not a great deal to the
bike MOT and if it can be made to run for 20 minutes it can usually be
made to pass.

 

You DO NOT need a valid MOT for a cherished transfer of the plate onto
another vehicle. The vehicle must however have been taxed and MOT'd in the
proceeding 6 months. You can transfer it onto another vehicle for £80 or put
it onto retention ( a type of holding in limbo certificate) for £105 and
then £25 every year thereafter that it isn't assigned to a vehicle.

There are LOADS of number plate companies on the net GOOGLE etc can assist
here.

Getting the bike through the MOT if needed may be worthwhile if it's worth
anything.

One thing to check is if the plate is transferrable at all. Some time ago
people with 'old' cars i.e. pre reg number would sell off the 123 ABC format
plate and the DVLA would issue a new number age related so it would be
another 234 ABC format plate and sell that one off e.t.c. They now stipulate
that if the plate is a replacement age related plate then it CANNOT be
transferred.

Good luck.

(Post the reg plate number to give us a clue).

 

I can't see a H or J suffix plate having much value.

It may be sentimental to the OP though, who may find this link useful.

Stick it on Ebay as a classic for restoration, or donated it to the TOG
SOCD175 Sanctuary, where knackered old heaps rust out their declining years
in a caring atmosphere of benign neglect and gimlet-eyed avarice.

 

not true it can still be sold if it was MOTed or TAXed within the last
6 months
