A September plate adds 50 to the year's last two digits, so September 2012 gives 62. A 62 plate car is about 14 years old now.
The two letters before the number show where the car was first registered, and the last three are random.
At this age a car has had at least one MOT. Its MOT history shows every test, fail and mileage reading, free.
