Understanding DVLA sold prices

The hammer price is the winning bid at auction. The buyer’s total also includes the applicable VAT, buyer’s premium and assignment fee.

Previous sold prices can help you compare registrations, but they are not a current valuation. Demand, format, readability and the bidders involved can all affect the price.
