As London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expands, it’s essential to know if your car is ULEZ compliant. The ULEZ aims to improve air quality by charging vehicles that don’t meet strict emissions standards. If you frequently drive in London, understanding your vehicle’s compliance status can save you money and prevent unexpected fines.
ULEZ compliance refers to whether a vehicle meets the required emissions standards to enter the ULEZ without paying a daily charge. The standards are:
Euro 6 for diesel cars (typically registered after September 2015).
Euro 4 for petrol cars (usually registered after 2005).
Electric vehicles (EVs): Fully exempt due to zero emissions.
Non-compliant vehicles must pay a daily charge of £12.50 to enter the ULEZ. This fee is in addition to the London Congestion Charge.
Use the Transport for London (TfL) checker: Visit the TfL website and enter your vehicle’s registration number to verify compliance.
Check your vehicle’s logbook: Look for the Euro emissions standard listed in your V5C document.
