5 PKY private number plate

The registration 5 PKY is a dateless plate with a number followed by three letters. Its four-character format makes it a notably short and clean registration. The format itself, with its single number leading, is typically more sought after than longer or more complex arrangements, and fewer digits often result in a more desirable plate.

The number 5 at the start signifies a very low number value, placing it within the higher tier of desirable numbers. This is supported by the fact that registrations beginning with a low number tend to hold stronger appeal.

The initials PKY are described as having niche or low demand, suggesting a more specialised buyer pool. However, the overall structure of the plate, with its short length and low-leading number, contributes to its distinct appeal.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in September 2017. It sold for £3,000 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £3,888.
