About private number plate 16 BUG
16 BUG presents a distinct set of characteristics for any enthusiast seeking a personalised UK number plate. Its format as two numbers followed by three letters, for a total of five characters, offers a clean and balanced appearance. The number 16 has a generally stronger appeal than higher double-digit numbers and contributes to a shorter, more straightforward registration.
The plate's initial combination of 'BUG' is its most notable feature and has direct relevance to automotive enthusiasts, particularly those with an interest in Bugatti vehicles. The registration directly mirrors the iconic automotive brand's name, making it a potentially appealing choice for owners or admirers of Bugatti cars. This strong automotive link is a primary driver of its potential appeal.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2024. It sold for £20,010 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £25,693.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
