Questions
What year is an SJV car plate?
The SJV series first opened for bidding in October 2009. It was the newest series for 2 months, until SJW in December 2009. So a car with an SJV plate was registered in October 2009 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 SJV plate?
No older than 17 years and 1 month (in November 2026), counted from October 2009, when the series first opened for bidding. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SJV carโs COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in October 2009, when the series first opened for bidding, had its first COE run to about October 2019; one registered later, later still. So an SJV 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 SJV?
SJW, which first opened for bidding in December 2009, then SJX in January 2010. Before SJV came SJU (August 2009).
What letter does SJV 1234 end in?
SJV 1234 B. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SJV 1 M, SJV 88 M, SJV 8888 T. Check any SJV plate.
