PAV 3N private number plate

PAV 3N is a five-character suffix-style UK private registration. The suffix format, which began in 1963, presents a distinct vehicle registration style. This specific registration carries the suffix year letter associated with vehicles registered between August 1974 and July 1975, though it was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2022. It sold for £12,853 (hammer price).

The registration features a low number, with the '3' appearing after the initial three letters. This presents a clean and straightforward layout of three letters followed by two characters, directly mirroring a "3 x 2" format, the combined characters forming PAV 3N. This type of shorter, cleaner registration format typically appeals to a wide range of buyers seeking a distinctive mark.

The initials PAV are considered mid-market in terms of popularity, suggesting a broad potential audience. Combined with the number '3', the registration offers an approachable combination. This plate carries the potential for diverse interpretations and ownership interest, from personal initials to a memorable sequence.

The registration was first released to the open market in 2022 via a DVLA auction.
