About private number plate 3 OBD
The 3 OBD registration offers a compelling four-character dateless format and benefits from a popular N-LLL layout, presenting a clean and distinctive appearance. As a dateless mark, it does not show a year identifier, contributing to its timeless appeal and making it of particular interest to collectors and individuals seeking a personalised registration that stands apart.
The registration's appeal is significantly enhanced by its low standalone number, with the digit 3 appearing at the beginning. Shorter registrations are generally preferred by buyers, and the concise four-character length of 3 OBD, combined with its number-first presentation, contributes to a strong visual presence. The initials OBD are considered mid-market in popularity, suggesting a broad potential audience for this registration.
3 OBD was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2025, indicating its availability on the secondary market from that point onwards. It sold for £5,840 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £7,499.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
