Can I sell my private plate back to DVLA?
No, It's not possible to sell your private number plate back to the DVLA. The DVLA sells cherished number plates, but only new ones. They won't buy back registrations that have already been issued to a vehicle. You can sell personalised number plates privately by finding a customer yourself or using a dealer.
Is my number plate worth anything?
Name number plates are worth most
As a rule, if a number plate has an easily recognisable name on it, it's worth a lot. Especially if it doesn't have too many 'spare' letters or numbers on it. A full name (like Simon or David) is harder to create on a number plate so it's worth more.
Can you sell back a private number plate?
In a word, no, you can't sell your number plate back to the DVLA. The DVLA issue new registrations for vehicles and also hold/sell the stock of all cherished registrations that have never been issued to a vehicle before, but they have no interest in buying registrations.

Auction websites
Another way of selling your plate is through an auction site like eBay. This way you can put a reserve on your item to ensure that you're getting what you think it's worth. As with anything on this kind of website, though, getting the right buyer is often down to luck.
