I've found a car I like but don't like the last bit of the number plate (KLL) - it looks like kill. Can the dealer change the number plate for me? It's a 68 plate car, so another 68-plate will be fine. I don't really want a private plate as they are expensive.

No. That's something you need to do by buying a cheap 'cherished' reg for the car from a reg dealer or directly from the DVLA.

How can I retain the registration of my vehicle if it is still on the vehicle (in case it is written off)? The DVLA website only seems to deal with transfers or removals.

Can I transfer the private reg from a car I put into storage (SORN) five years ago? It had an MoT when put into storage but hasn't had one since. The car could be recommissioned and MOTd quite quickly...

I've found a 2012 car from a dealer with a number plate that is unrecognised on all the relevant websites. Might that be a cause for concern?
