Questions
What year is an SDT car plate?
The SDT series first opened for bidding in June 2002. It was the newest series for 1 month, until SDU in July 2002. So a car with an SDT plate was registered in June 2002 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 SDT plate?
No older than 24 years and 5 months (in November 2026), counted from June 2002, when the series first opened for bidding. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SDT carโs COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in June 2002, when the series first opened for bidding, had its first COE run to about June 2012; one registered later, later still. So an SDT 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 SDT?
SDU, which first opened for bidding in July 2002, then SDV in September 2002. Before SDT came SDS (April 2002).
What letter does SDT 1234 end in?
SDT 1234 H. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SDT 1 U, SDT 88 U, SDT 8888 A. Check any SDT plate.
