Can you recommend a ULEZ compliant hybrid car?
I have a top of the range 4x4 2014 Skoda Yeti. When the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) in London is extended in August I will have to replace it. My main concern is that I like the height and the comfort as I have mobility issues. I would be happy with either a petrol or hybrid. What would you suggest?

We'd recommend a Toyota Yaris Cross. It's a brilliant hybrid small SUV that'll be cheap to run and well suited to driving around town. It's got a high seating position, too - much higher than other small SUVs like the Ford Puma. Alternatively, consider a Volkswagen T-Roc or bigger family SUVs like the Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage.
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.
Check your vehicle
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is there a medium-sized car that would cope well with London's speed humps/bumps and not damage the car?
Partly because I love the model and partly because I think they (presently) fly under the ULEZ radar, I was contemplating buying a petrol or hybrid Volkswagen Touareg Mk2. The one I have seen and fancy...
I live within the ULEZ. Can I park my non-compliant car on the road and just pay £12.50 every day I drive it?
