Questions
What year is an SCV car plate?
The SCV series came out in August 1998. It was the newest series for 4 months, until SCW in December 1998. So a car with an SCV plate was registered in August 1998 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 SCV plate?
No older than 28 years and 3 months (in November 2026), counted from August 1998, when the series came out. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SCV carโs COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in August 1998, when the series came out, had its first COE run to about August 2008; one registered later, later still. So an SCV 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 SCV?
SCW, which came out in December 1998, then SCX in April 1999. Before SCV came SCU (May 1998).
What letter does SCV 1234 end in?
SCV 1234 J. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SCV 1 X, SCV 88 X, SCV 8888 B. Check any SCV plate.
