Andorra license plate: Historic passed ITV

Format, years and the law

Format

58999, for example 58775 (9 any digit)

All digits, yet fully decodable: numbers 58001 through 58999 are reserved for historic vehicles that have passed the roadworthiness test, so an Andorran plate starting 58 is a certified classic hiding in an ordinary-looking number. The ones that failed wear red instead.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued

Documented since 2011; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.

Vehicle class

Historic: vintage/oldtimer regimes (German H, ES historico). Issued for car, van, and motorcycle.

Colours

Characters #000000 Background #FFFFFF

About this plate

HISTORIC VEHICLES THAT HAVE PASSED THE ROADWORTHINESS TEST, "type II" (art. 15). Black on white with a black border, and identified by a RESERVED NUMBER RANGE rather than by any letter. It is the only Andorran series whose identity lives entirely in its numeric block, which makes it the one case where a bare five-digit string can be attributed with confidence.

Format notes

A RESERVED NUMERIC BLOCK, 58001 to 58999 under the instrument in force (art. 15.1), carved out of the ordinary five-digit space rather than given its own prefix. The human pattern spells a representative value because the pattern DSL cannot express a numeric range.
