The change came in in 2001/2002. It was planned relatively well in the UK but, as far as I can remember, there were still some teething issues.

According to this people registering in the UK can go for “62″ (the code for the second half of 2012) instead of “13″ (the code for the first half of 2013). It has possible implications for resale for the consumer of course. You’d imagine this solution is less likely to cause problems than a complete reformat of the plate would.
