About private number plate 3 LAV
3 LAV is a dateless UK private number plate with a four-character, numbers-first format. The registration has a clean, short layout, featuring one number followed by three letters. Such concise formats are typically sought after for their visual appeal and ease of reading.
As a dateless registration, 3 LAV does not show a year identifier, offering a timeless look. Dateless plates, particularly those with fewer characters and a numbers-first structure, hold a particular place in the collector market. The '3' signifies a low number, which generally enhances desirability, while the subsequent 'LAV' initials offer a clear personal identification opportunity.
The 'LAV' initials are considered mid-market in terms of popularity. This suggests a broad potential buyer pool, appealing to individuals whose names, surnames or businesses commence with these letters. The personal connection is a significant driver in the private number plate market, as highlighted by DVLA surveys where personal names or initials are the leading motivator for purchasing personalised registrations.
3 LAV was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2024. It sold for £7,610 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £9,771.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
