Lack of 15 Plates on the Road....Is it just me??

[LeapingDeere]

19 days into the new registration and I have yet to see a 15 plate car on the road. Granted I don't do the miles compared to some of PH'ers but I would expect to have seen one by now, usually see one 10 days or so into the month.

(I'm sure at this moment the PH trolls will be telling me how they have seen 1000's)

I don't do millions of miles (cira 1,000 a month) but I would say I have seen quite a few; as many as any other previous plates as and when they have come out.

Not on anythig special, just standard, every day cars and vans..

[PapaJohns]

Iv seen a couple

[AlexHat]

I've seen a few around, (not counting all those I've seen parked at dealers)

[HJMS123]

Not seen many but I only do circa 120 miles per week .... I'm driving a 15 plate though

[CallorFold]

Very few compared to when 14/64 plates came out

[R2T2]

I've seen 20+ 15 plates.

I've seen less 13 plate cars than 15's/

Do about 800 miles a month.

150 miles a day and I've seen a few.

Was only thinking to myself how few i'd seen.

[oldaudi]

Seen a fair few on the way to work, mainly white A, CLA and C Class Mercs

I also live near a Land Rover Range Rover dealer and they've had plenty on their forecourt since the start of March. Must be pre-registered though because they aint moving and if I had ordered a new Range Rover I think I would have picked it up by now!

I've seen a few on cars,but local bus company appears to have splashed out?

[Tyre Tread]

Was only thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen one and later that day I saw one.

They do seem rare however.

A mate was telling me the other night that he has 750 Golf GTIs to PDI this week which are to be split between half a dozen dealers an one fleet buyer so there are clearly some 15 plates to be on the road very soon!

Also suspect that there may be a few people out there who still think they need to wait until April to get the new plate plus other large fleet/business buyers who may want to put purchases into the next tax year.

I'm wondering why I see so many "63" plated Mercedes everywhere. Did MB sell an unusually large amount of cars between Sept '13 and March '14?

[folos]

Seen loads around Cardiff, mostly blue Golf Rs and enterprise / thrifty rentals.

[MrGman]

I recently bought a new bike, could have waited for a 15 plate just because 'it's nice to have the latest plate' but i don't think it's quite what it use to be and doesn't really seem to do much to the values.

[alecescolme]

I have seen loads, seems to be very common on the m6.

[JackThrust]

I'm looking at one right now! But then I do work at a dealership so possibly cheating a little....

[DanielSan]

I've seen a few and then on the way home today saw 2 15 plate Range Rover's within 500 metres of each other.

AFAIK DCUK offer their staff cars for 9 months. Once they're back in the system to be sold on that would be around last Autumn / Winter 2014
