KLA 551C private number plate

KLA 551C is a seven-character UK private registration. The format consists of three letters followed by three numbers and a final letter, designated as a suffix-style plate. This particular registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2024. It sold for £14,265 (hammer price). Such registrations have the clean look associated with dateless registrations and do not show a year identifier.

The initials KLA offer a foundation for personal appeal, with "KLA" positioned in the mid-market range for initials popularity. This suggests a decent breadth of potential buyers who may be drawn to this combination. The number 551 is a three-digit number, a common format that contributes to the clean aesthetic of the registration.

The suffix style of registration, where the final letter indicates the year of introduction, was first implemented in 1965. Registrations from this era, and indeed all suffix and prefix style plates, do not show a year identifier. The aesthetic is streamlined, offering a distinct look compared to current-style registrations.

This vehicle registration has been sold previously. It was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2024.
