The UK’s new ‘75‑plate’ registration series launches on 1 September 2025, marking a fresh chapter for drivers and fleet operators alike. At MV Commercial, this plate change isn’t just about a number, it’s an opportunity to access the newest trucks, trailers, and vans with upgraded specs, smarter tech, and the strongest possible resale value.
Whether you’re running a national fleet or sourcing a single tipper or crane truck, the new plate gives you leverage, on the road, in the books, and at resale.
What Do UK Number Plates Actually Mean?
UK registration plates follow a specific format: XX75 XXX, where:
-
The first two letters represent the local DVLA office where the vehicle was registered.
-
The two-digit number refers to the age identifier:
-
75 = vehicles registered between 1 September 2025 – 28 February 2026
-
For March registrations, the year alone is used (e.g. 25 for March 2025)
-
-
The final three letters are randomly generated.
So, “MV75 PLT” would mean a vehicle registered in the Manchester and Merseyside region (MV) during the 75‑plate period in autumn 2025.
Why Wait for a New Plate?
If you’re considering a new truck or van before September, it might be worth holding off just a few weeks. Here’s why:
- Stronger Resale Value
- A 75‑plate vehicle is automatically “newer” than a 25‑plate—even if it was registered just a few days later. That plate can add thousands to your resale or trade-in value over time.
- Higher Perceived Age Advantage
- For customers, buyers, or resale platforms, vehicles with the latest registration often feel more current—regardless of mileage or condition.
- Access to Latest Features & Compliance
- The September plate-change usually brings in manufacturer year upgrades: improved engines, emissions compliance, latest safety tech, and more. If you wait for the 75‑plate, you’ll likely get a more future-proof build.
- Perfect Timing for Fleets and Financing
MV Commercial works closely with customers looking to align fleet renewals with the new plate cycle. This often means better finance rates, tailored payment schedules, and stock timed exactly for September release.
3 Key Ways the 75‑Plate Benefits Your Business
- Upgrade with Confidence
- 75‑plate models arriving this autumn reflect the best of what manufacturers offer. It’s the right time to futureproof your fleet and tick more boxes for Clean Air Zone compliance, operator safety, and load efficiency.
- Depreciation You Can Predict
- Newer plates hold stronger on the second-hand market. Whether selling or trading-in, a 75‑plate vehicle will usually carry higher residual value than an equivalent 25‑plate model—helping offset costs long-term.
- Strategic Buying Power
- September plate changes create a seasonal momentum in the market. MV Commercial customers can take advantage of competitive lease terms, flexible funding, and delivery scheduling that matches your operational targets.
