About private number plate 3 VAD
The registration 3 VAD is a concise, four-character dateless plate. Its format, one number followed by three letters, is a classic type that offers a strong visual appeal. The number 3 leads the registration, presenting a low number that is generally more sought after than higher numbers. The initials VAD follow, offering potential for personal identification for individuals or businesses with matching initials.
As a dateless registration, 3 VAD does not display a year identifier, contributing to its clean look. This style of registration is appreciated for its enduring aesthetic, and the number-letter sequence is typically favoured due to its association with some of the earliest registration eras. Given that personal names and initials are a primary driver for private number plate purchases, the VAD sequence offers a distinct opportunity for identification.
The registration 3 VAD was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2022. It sold for £5,010 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £6,433.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
