There are only 8 single number '0' plates in the UK - 7 are Scottish and 1 is English. They weren't originally issued, but specially issued to local authorities for use on official vehicles. Details on why they were created are limited, although singlesingle.co.uk explains why G 0, S 0 and V 0 were created, and the rest probably follow similar stories.
