Na waoh, like how many month is considered new, also how can dey tell by looking that the plate number is new

I'll say at least 6 months.

You'll know by the last two letters. For Lagos plates, if the first letter of the last two starts with F then it was registered within the last two years.

What they'll be looking at are plates ending with FT, FU FV...FZ

I saw two 2018 Kia Rio and they spotted FY and FZ as last letter respectively. I was also seeing F alot I thought it must be February and decided month is what is been used until I saw CC, EZ, BJ and I was confused.

The letters are arranged in an alphabetical order. Say they start from FA, the first set of plates will be KJA01FA..MUS20FA...BDG999FA. Then they move to FB and the numbering continues till they get to FZ. They should move to G when FZ has been exhausted and that's assuming they haven't already. We wey no dey lag no dey quick see these things

I don't think you can get the exact year or month by just looking at the plates you can however get an estimate. If I see an E plate for instance, I know the vehicle was registered at least two- three years ago.

CC: Pattybf .... Please throw more torchlight

okay I understand you, you can't decipher the year or month from face value. Except you work with the DMV.

The accord I sold was BG and the plate was freshly done in 2012

The sienna is CW and was done in 2014 so E would be around 2015 so you are right.

My neighbors Highlander is 2 to 3months old and is FX, I saw that Kia Rio having FY that is to say by next year Lagos would be GA then cause December, people go buy car for village yanga

Extra extra tyre , mehn naija roads dey chop tyre and rim no be small

That may depend on how recent your plate number is

It's very new and shiny

Those thieves will stop you at almost all checkpoints expecting you to drop

They will take their time to crosscheck your VIN with the one on your papers. Some will go as far as checking your engine number.

God help you if one digit is incorrect

You re right. Na so them frustrate me life on my way to osogbo from ibdan. Those police at the outskirt of ibaban. My Vin on paper is not complete.
