Sold auction plates
Every UK private number plate sold at a Plate Circle Auction, highest hammer price first.
What sold plates tell you
Auction hammer prices are the clearest public signal of what UK private number plates actually sell for. Unlike asking prices — which are what a seller hopes to get — a hammer price is a number two or more real bidders competed to reach, against a published deadline. Each sold plate links through to its master page, where the auction result sits alongside the plate's wider sales history, spotted sightings and valuation notes.
After the hammer falls
When a lot closes above its reserve, the winning bidder pays the hammer price plus a buyer's premium, charged when the auction ends, and Plate Circle contacts both sides to help co-ordinate the transfer. Buyer and seller remain anonymous to each other throughout. See the auction terms.
