How about trying to smear clear silicone sealer around the edge of the number plate
May work then again may not
Worth a try

Mine does it to, I reckon its because the plastic bit that the number plate lights are hidden in has a crappy seal so on top of the spray from the road hitting the plate you get a steady trickle of water running on the top of the number plate degrading the adhesive.
Mine will prob fail on mot next time but unless it does im not replacing it as it will only fook up again!!!
