Questions
What year is an SBT car plate?
The SBT series came out in December 1991. It was the newest series for 3 months, until SBU in March 1992. So a car with an SBT plate was registered in December 1991 or later: a number can be bid for after its series opens, or kept from an older car, so the car can be newer than its plate, never older.
How old is a car with an SBT plate?
No older than 34 years and 11 months (in November 2026), counted from December 1991, when the series came out. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SBT carโs COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in December 1991, when the series came out, had its first COE run to about December 2001; one registered later, later still. So an SBT car still on the road has had its COE renewed for 5 or 10 more years at the Prevailing Quota Premium: see the latest COE prices and PQP, and the PARF and COE rebates for scrapping it.
What comes after SBT?
SBU, which came out in March 1992, then SBV in August 1992. Before SBT came SBR (August 1991).
What letter does SBT 1234 end in?
SBT 1234 G. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SBT 1 T, SBT 88 T, SBT 8888 Z. Check any SBT plate.
