“Many drivers go one step further to express themselves with a personalised plate, but it’s important to ensure not to cause offence.
“Car makers and dealers will be out to take a big slice of new car sales with special offers and tempting finance packages. So, if you’re looking to buy a 25-plate car, look out for models with finance or low-rate finance deals.”
