About private number plate 171 M
The registration 171 M offers a compact, four-character format. It presents as three numbers followed by a single letter, a layout that has the clean look associated with dateless registrations.
This registration can be associated with the BMW 1M, a high-performance vehicle. The inclusion of the letter M provides potential for personal initial representation.
Dateless registrations like this are often sought for their clear, uncluttered presentation, which does not show a year identifier. A format with fewer characters tends to have stronger visual appeal.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2025. It sold for £16,010 (hammer price).
With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £20,557.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
