15 Plate Cars

[vikingaero]

Saw my first 15 plate car today?! A white Skoda Octavia Estate driven on a dual carriageway.

A week too early?

4 days really, as the 1st is on Sunday. Probably a car on test after its PDI

After the plate change will Mar-Aug registered used cars come down slightly in price immediately, or is it a gradual change?

[vikingaero]

Ah yes. Forgot about the 28 days.

Do you mean Sept-Mar?

Saw a 15 plate lorry cab earlier, had to do a double take! That sort of date messing really screws with where in the week you are

Trade plates?

I followed a 15-plate 50cc moped the other day, complete with L-plates. It was in the back of a pickup, tbf.

I'm also interested in this, I'm going to look at a nearly new 14 plate tomorrow and am wondering what sort of price reduction I could expect if I were to wait another week or so before buying. Any ideas percentage wise?

There's a Vauxhall garage adjacent to where I work, I popped out for a smoke two weeks ago and saw a 15-plate mini-SUV thing getting redlined down the service road to the garage. Obviously getting ready for a PDI although it did make me wince how the first thing that car did getting off the transporter was to hit its rev limiter on a cold engine.
