C4 MRA private number plate

C4 MRA is a prefix-style registration with a clean, five-character format: one letter, one number, followed by three letters. The number 4, embedded within the registration, stands out as a low, single digit, which typically carries stronger appeal than higher or multi-digit numbers in comparable formats. This number also offers a visual substitution, where 4 can be seen as an 'A', creating a potential reading of "C A MRA".

The initials MRA are present, offering a direct personalisation angle for individuals, families, or businesses. The letter C at the beginning provides an additional initial. Registrations that clearly display initials, particularly in a short format like C4 MRA, are often sought after for their immediate relevance and personal connection.

The prefix numbering system, to which C4 MRA belongs, uses the initial letter to denote an approximate year of issue, with the 'C' here indicating a format that began release in August 1985. Registrations of this style typically offer a classic look without revealing the age of the vehicle to which they are assigned. This specific registration, C4 MRA, was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1998. It sold for £1,400 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £1,810.
