Yes you can. I can pick any number of number plates on offer from DVLA auction site at fixed price and fit them to any vehicle I choose.

Not ANY car. You can make a new car appear to be older than it is but it is illegal to make an old car look newer than it is.

NO you can't. Do you have difficulty understanding the correct information you are being given?

You can’t transfer a registration number:

• starting with ‘Q’ or ‘NIQ’ for Northern Ireland registered vehicles
• if it will make the vehicle it’s being transferred to look younger

Both vehicles must be:

• registered with DVLA
• available for inspection
• of a type that needs an MOT or heavy goods vehicle ( HGV ) test certificate

So what is a private plate on a car. Do explain AS?

What do you mean by 'private plate'?

If it's one of the really old plates where there is no age identifier (e.g. ABC 123) that's fine because the plate is older than the car.

What isn't permissable is the following:-

You have a 2002 car. You buy a 'personal' number plate LE 04 MEE for example. You cannot put a 2004 plate on a car that was registered before 2004 as this would make the 2002 car look like it was a 2004 car. Understand now?
