Toyota Yaris - number plate changes x2 - carmindfield

hi,

I've found a vehicle online reg - BD05 WMF and discovered its had two plate changes.

1. from a BMW to this vehicle on 06.08.2018 - this coincides with a new owner - a few days difference - F64 KVR

2. on the same vehicle - B5 WAW on 29.04.2005 - I'm not sure if this relates to a new owner as not seen paperwork in person yet.

suggestion made that these two are personalised number plates and so wanted to know if common for two number plate changes on a vehicle over 17 years.

or any general insights into number plate changes appreciated. thank you

Many cars get two number plate changes - first, when the original registration is changed for a personalised one and second, when it's changed back to the original* before being sold on.

* usually changed back to the original unless that's been re-allocated.
