The different part of the country is unlikely to be the reason. Could be that the original assigned registration was actually removed and put on retention when the private plate was assigned, this would lead to a new dated plate being assigned by DVLA when the private plate was removed onto retention.
Could also be just a DVLA mistake (it has been known!).

Original registration put on retention in 2016?

That then means it wouldn't be available to revert back to when a leter mark was transferred away... so a 'new' reg would be applied.

ETA: Scrump beat me to it.

Sounds like it was probably a ringer.

It is possible that the number reverted to a ‘native’ plate when the owners were trying to sell (and/or), and so put that personal plate onto their second car. So that may be just 3 owners. What is the car such that it commands a private plate?

Yes, that is a given I think. They would all retain their personalised registrations. It was the difference in native/non personalised registrations I queried and some of the other posters have commented on. If you're trying to convey a different point I don't follow, sorry!

No. I was just countering the argument that it could be a ringer. Others have suggested why it may be a different native plate, but I was wondering what is special about the car that people desire a private plate on it. Any comment?

People put their asinine plates on all sorts of cars. I sometimes think that maybe if they were a bit more savvy with money they would have a better car rather than a plate that says something if you drink 12 pints and squint
