About private number plate 5 MEX
5 MEX is a distinctive dateless UK private registration. The plate is presented in a four-character format, with a single number followed by three letters, offering a clean and visually appealing layout.
The registration’s appeal is enhanced by its short format and the presence of a very low number, the 5, which is the lowest possible single digit outside of the number 1. This low number, combined with the three-letter arrangement, positions it favourably within the collector market, where shorter registrations and earlier number sequences generally hold stronger appeal. The initials MEX are considered niche, suggesting a more specific buyer pool.
5 MEX was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2017. It sold for £4,400 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £5,702.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
