Why build year is important?
Build year is the year in which the car was manufactured. It is important that the build year is correct when identifying your car. If the wrong year is selected it could dramatically change the valuation of your car.
Where to find it
The build plate should be located in one of the following locations:
- Engine Bay
- Door Sills
- Door pillar
- Boot
How to identify it?
Use the below example to identify the build plate. Please note that the build year is different to compliance date or the year the car was first registered. Registration papers/stickers are not always a reliable source for build year.
