Is it worth buying a brand new petrol or diesel car now?
Is it worth buying a brand new petrol or diesel or hybrid given that by 2030 the Government wants all these cars phased out?

The current plan is to ban the sale of new petrol or diesel cars by 2030. Hybrid car sales can continue until 2035. You'll still be able to drive a petrol or diesel car or buy a second-hand one after these dates. There's no reason why you shouldn't buy a new petrol or diesel car now.
