252 A private number plate

252 A is a concise, four-character dateless registration. Its short three-number, one-letter format offers a clean and memorable aesthetic, highly regarded for its visual appeal. The number combination 252 is a palindrome, reading the same forwards and backwards, which can add a unique symmetrical quality. This dateless registration does not show a year identifier, contributing to its timeless look.

As a dateless registration with 'A' as the sole letter, 252 A presents a strong initials reading. The letter 'A' is the first letter of the alphabet and is often chosen for its significant meaning or to represent a surname or first name. Such registrations with a single prominent initial tend to appeal to a broad range of buyers looking for personal connection.

The number 252 falls into the 100 to 999 band. Numbers in this range generally carry appeal due to their relative rarity compared to four-digit numbers, and lower digits within this band typically have stronger desirability. The format of three numbers followed by one letter is a classic layout.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2025. It sold for £14,137 (hammer price).
