Think they still make a few Mk1 for taxi firms

Also still made for other markets as well.

could it be a private plate

No, private plates are not allowed to make the car look newer than it actually is, i.e. you could not put an 07 plate on a 03 car but you can put an 03 plate on an 07 car.

could it be a private plate

No it couldn't be.

You are not allowed to put a vanity plate on your car that shows your car as being younger than it actually is. Ie you can put a 03 plate on an 05 car but not an 05 plate on a 03 car

Bugger he beat me to it

Spotted an 07 reg MK1 Octavia Taxi in Hartlepool the other day.

Theres a few up here too , althought I dont think many more firms will be buying them , our ex dealer can no longer do warranty work.

The registration plate also only shows when the car was registered so it's possible to have a "late" registration on a car that was manufactured a few years ago (and never previously registered)....

i've also seen an 07 Octy 1 estate today , and yes it was a taxi

Estates are all old style on 07 plates furby included
