B055 Plates - Breakdown of Makes
Discussion
I was doing the usual hypothetical car shopping the other day and I wondered where all the B055 plates end up so I put in an FOI request to the DVLA to see what the top 5 makes of cars in the UK that use that renowned VRM and here are the results from Feb 2024 and in case anyone else is curious.
Make Number of vehicles
LAND ROVER 781
MERCEDES-BENZ 611
BMW 528
FORD 514
AUDI 425
No surprises here except for Ford beating Audi?! What Fords are they going on?

Anyone with a BO55 plate on here care to explain their motivation for acquiring one ?
Suspect for some its just a bit of fun and they dont overthink it, and some will have it purchased by their family for a special birthday and feel obliged, some will just be colossal throbbers of the highest order, many tats, Turkey Teeth, big watch etc etc.

It's because they want everyone to know that they are the BOSS. Especially important that strangers, people they've never met, and people they will never meet know this. 'Cause they're the BOSS. The fact that people who see the plate have no idea who owns it or is driving the car never enters their heads. It's some desire for recognition, based on owning a number plate. Say no more.

Its not as bad as the ones that have "FU" spaced purposefully, that is just weird.

My experience is these plates are usually on a 2005ish black Range Rover driven by the above.Or on the front of a Mercedes parked outside the front of an EE car wash place driven by the owner.

Plenty of the Renault engined a-class diesels around here with them on (SE London)
Don't tell them that, they will be very upset to find their example of German engineering has an "unreliable French" engine out of an old Clio with a bit more sound deadening to make it feel "prestige".Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
