Current Car Registration System
AB represents the 'local memory tag' - where the vehicle was registered. A full list is available from the DVLA but examples include BA-BY for Birmingham, LA to LY for London, and so on.
52 represents the age identifier. Not entirely obvious at first, it is changed at half-yearly intervals (March and September) in the following way:
September 2001 = 51
March 2002 = 02
September 2002 = 52
March 2003 = 03, etc
In 2010, the numbers are 10 and 61, in 2020 they are 20 and 71, and so on.
