What ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) means for you
Buying a used car in London? Check its ULEZ status before you commit. Petrol cars need to meet Euro 4, which most from 2006 do, and diesel cars need Euro 6, which most from September 2015 do. Electric cars always comply. Our free check shows ULEZ status before you pay.
The charge runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, so it adds up fast. Birmingham charges £8 a day and Bristol £9. In Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee, low emission zones carry a £60 penalty, halved if paid within 14 days.
