ULEZ compliance anomalies

[Brigadier]

My 1964 Singer Gazelle is compliant and exempt from the charge. My 2001 Peugeot 406 is not. Not that I would ever drive to London, but I wonder if there's an exemption for 'classic cars'?

AFAIK, there is an exemption; over 40 yrs-old cars.

................compliant and exempt...................

A vehicle can be "exempt", yet be non-compliant with one or other requirement for exemption.

e.g. a shoite-spewing charabanc could (would?) be exempt by virtue of its "classic" status.
If the rules were on emissions alone, it would (may?) not be.

I figured there might be, same as the tax exemption period.

I know people through the 406 owners club who live in London. There are some who are now selling due to impending charges, and others who have found their cars are exempt -- all of them own the same 2.0 HDi engine. Seems like it's pot luck at the moment!

Diesels have to comply with Euro6

Euro4 is for petrols

In your OP, you stated yours was a diesel

It is diesel, 2.2 CRDi 7 seat manual , euro4 but TFL says it's compliant, strange.

Is that because [Euro4 / 6] is a simplified and rough rule-of-thumb for the layperson, rather than an absolute requirement?

Or, it could just be a TfL coding error...........

Is this you, Mottie?

No. But a good idea.

No. But a good idea.

It's a great idea imho, everybody should do it. I have an old one that I replaced and would happily donate it to the cause.

I was having a discussion about ulez and said my old car-a 2007 diesel Hyundai Santa Fe was compliant, others said no, it's too old. So I checked it again, and it comes up as being ulez compliant. Punched a few reg numbers for similar cars for sale, even a newer 2012 model, and none are compliant. Strange.

I just tried an 07 plate Diesel Santa Fe Manual from Autotrader and it is ULEZ compliant. But the Auto is not.

The Santa Fe is a fantastic car, one that age could be picked up for not a huge amount. 7 seats as well, and not too bad on fuel.

I've been watching youtube videos of people revving the nuts off stinkwheels with spannies on. There was a kettle with it's reg showing, it wasn't ulez compliant.

 

[securespark]

I may be getting old.

Can you say that in English, please?

It is very tempting, old enough to be cheap, but still ULEZ (and CAZ) compliant.

Me too. Guessing it's some kind of down with the hood street talk. Innit!

I've been watching youtube videos of people revving the nuts of 2 stroke motorcycles with expansion chambers on. There was a Suzuki GT750 with its registration number on view.
ULEZ- ultra low emission zone (or cash grab)
