Partial Number Plate Search

Use wildcards (* and ?) for incomplete registrations. Combine partial plate search with make, model or colour filters for precise vehicle identification.

  • ? = any single character and * = any sequence of characters
  • "FR?2" - Wildcard search matching "FR02", "FR12", etc.
  • "AB12CDE" - Exact registration match for complete number plates
  • "AB12*" - Partial plate search for all registrations starting with "AB12"
  • "*CDE" - Find all number plates ending with "CDE"
  • "*BMW*" - Locate registrations containing "BMW" anywhere in the plate
• Make Search: Filter vehicles by manufacturer (e.g., "BMW", "Ford", "Audi")
• Model Search: Search specific vehicle models (e.g., "3 Series", "Focus", "Golf")
• Colour Search: Find vehicles by colour (e.g., "Blue", "Red", "White")
