ULEZ Compliant Cars

webjaved

Hello,

If I was to have a Euro 5 car in Diesel that shows as not ULEZ compliant but it was a private family car would I still need to pay a charge for those towns operating CAZ/ULEZ?

Or does it need to be Euro 6 compliant for Diesel? 

I'm looking for a 7 seater car (spacious boot) in diesel, with CAZ decisions pending around the likes of Manchester/Liverpool I think a Euro 6 is a must. 

Some people are telling me that I can have a Euro 5 car in diesel and not pay a charge because it's a private family car. Surely that's incorrect. If it doesn't meet the requirement you aren't exempt. 

Thanks

London ULEZ requires all diesels to be Euro 6. I'm not sure about Manchester/Liverpool though, they may be more lenient.

It's under review at the moment in Manchester but no doubt they'll be following in the footsteps of London.

I've not heard of any exemption for private family cars. I have heard of people saying they are being forced to sell their pruvate family cars because of ULEZ expansion.

That is indeed so. We live about a mile outside the existing London ULEZ which Khan is extending in August. Our beloved Land Rover was non-compliant so we’d have been looking at a daily charge of £12.50 every time it moved. At great expense, we’ve been forced to p/ex a well loved, regularly serviced and much cared for vehicle just to keep him happy. A big thank you to the Mayor

Euro 6 Diesel only, or get charged.

The only exemption is for cars regestered as disabled and getting free road tax.

They will get 4 years to upgarde to a newer car.

Also euro 7 is comming in 2 years.

Euro 6 diesels could be out.

Yes, EURO7 is near.
Suggestions that means the ULEZ will immediately change to EURO7 are scaremongering.  It would be suggesting that someone could buy a compliant brand new car in, say 2024 and then be told in 2025 that it is no longer suitable.  Totally absurd!
