Format, years and the law

Format
MT 9999, for example MT 1571 (9 any digit)

MT echoes the plate's statutory name, matrícula temporal, and the red panel opposite spells out its death date, expiry month in Roman numerals, year in Arabic ones. A temporary plate that tells you, in two numeral systems, exactly when it stops being valid.

MT
matrícula temporal (temporary registration)

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

Years issued
Documented since 1999; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Temporary: short-validity plates (transit, awaiting registration). Issued for car, van, and motorcycle.

About this plate
MATRÍCULA TEMPORAL, temporary/tourist registration. Distinguished from the ordinary plate by red furniture rather than by a coloured ground: the AND mark and the PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA legend, blue on every other white plate, are red here.
About its years
The MT series is older than the current Reglament: the 1999 Codi already carried it at art. 156, "En les plaques de matriculació temporal, hi han de constar les lletres MT, seguides del número d'ordre, del mes i de l'any en curs", so 1999 is an upper bound resting on a repealed but read instrument, and the current spec is art. 13 of Decret 456/2022.
Format notes
MT IS TREATED AS PART OF THE SERIAL, and that is sourced rather than assumed: Llei 24/2014 art. 7.1(i) forbids a personalised plate from consisting of "les lletres 'MT', 'CD', 'CMD', 'A', 'CC', seguides de xifres", grouping MT with the unambiguous diplomatic serial prefixes.
