SLG car plate: what year?

When the SLG series came out, how old a SLG car can be, and when its COE runs out.

A car with an SLG plate was registered in August 2016 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.

Questions

What year is an SLG car plate?

The SLG series first opened for bidding in August 2016. It was the newest series for 1 month, until SLH in September 2016. So a car with an SLG plate was registered in August 2016 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 SLG plate?

No older than 10 years and 3 months (in November 2026), counted from August 2016, when the series first opened for bidding. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.

When does an SLG carโ€™s COE end?

A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in August 2016, when the series first opened for bidding, had its first COE run to about August 2026; one registered later, later still. So an SLG 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 SLG?

SLH, which first opened for bidding in September 2016, then SLJ in October 2016. Before SLG came SLF (July 2016).

What letter does SLG 1234 end in?

SLG 1234 G. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SLG 1 T, SLG 88 T, SLG 8888 Z. Check any SLG plate.
