Number Plates

At Ross Motors, we provide a full range of car repairs and servicing and are also DVLA-approved to supply and fit number plates at our Edmonton, N9, site. Whether you require additional plates for a caravan or trailer or need replacement plates for faded or damaged ones, Ross Motors has got you covered.

Number plates have to meet certain requirements to be legal, and if you’re found driving a vehicle with plates that don’t meet those standards, you could end up with a hefty fine. Here are some guidelines below, but if you’re still not sure if your number plates are legal or if they need to be replaced, give our team at Ross Motors a call on 0208 803 0878 and we’ll be happy to help with any questions or concerns.

What are the rules on number plates?

• The number plate needs to be the correct colour for the age or registration of the vehicle, with a white background on the front plate and a yellow background on the rear plate.
• The numbers and letters need to be black, have the correct font and have the correct spacing between them, and there must be no background pattern
• There must be no damage or anything hiding the registration number
• The numbers cannot be altered in any way so that they appear like a different character

To legally supply number plates, you’ll need to provide original documents that verify your identity, address, and entitlement to use the registration number. For a full list of acceptable documents for proof of identity and eligibility, please refer to the government website.

As an independent garage with so many impressive credentials, we are members of several national motoring organisations that ensure the highest standards of work quality and customer service. These include Bosch and Servicesure, along with other notable names such as 1-Link, Approved Garages, DVSA, and Who Can Fix My Car. We are sure this demonstrates our ability to provide the very best services.
