ULEZ Charge checker - will my private numberplate cause problems?

I just typed in my car registration on your ULEZ checker to find out if my car is OK: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/ulez-ultra-low-emissions-zone-london/#how-can-i-check-if-my-car-is-ulez-compliant

I have a personal plate and changed my car a year ago but your checker still shows my old vehicle (2010 Jaguar XF diesel) which I know isn't compliant. If I drive my present vehicle (a compliant 2017 Mercedes E350D) will I have to pay ??

This reads like a problem with the numberplate transfer. Speak with the DVLA to check that it has been successfully assigned to your newer vehicle.

Will you have to pay the low emissions charge?

Use our ULEZ checker to find out if your vehicle is subject to ULEZ charges. Simply enter your number plate into the Honest John ULEZ checker to see if you will have to pay to enter the London Ultra Low Emission Zone.
