How do I appeal the ULEZ charge and avoid paying the daily fee?

My wife and I drive a diesel Volvo XC70 (first registered in 2006) and a Volvo XC60 (2013 model). Both have very low emissions readings on their MOTs and we have a property just within the South Circular road that we go to occasionally.

Is there any way that we can challenge the set requirement for a Euro 6diesel engine to be compliant with the ULEZ?

The short answer to this question is no. The ULEZ is based on total tailpipe emissions, which includes particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) - things that old diesel cars will emit an awful lot of

My advice would be to sell one of the cars and replace it with a Euro6 diesel or Euro4 petrol.
