Not really. The BPA themselves actually advise that the ICO definitely considers VRM to be personal data in the hands of a parking operator (original context of discussion), because it can be used to identify, even if this has not yet taken place. The I is for Identifiable, not identified. Hence processing is under the scope of the GDPR - https://www.britishparking.co.uk/write/GDPR%20Events/BPA-A4-How-Does-GDPR-Affect-Me-v2.pdf .

If you’re not a parking operator with a KADOE contract it’s probably more nuanced.

However, I should correct an definite mistake I made above: GDPR does not affect information collected by individuals for household/personal purposes. Mea culpa.
