Is my Mercedes Euro 5a or Euro 5b?
Is my July 2012 Mercedes C220 AMG sport stop/start diesel a Euro 5a or Euro 5b?
My local Mercedes dealer (in Ayr) where quite rude when asked and no help at all. Euro 5b diesels are legal to use in low emission zones so this an important question.

Euro 5 regulations for diesel cars were staggered, which is why there is a Euro 5a and Euro 5b. Euro 5a was introduced in 2009 and Euro 5b in 2011, so given that your car was registered in 2015 it should be Euro 5b.
However, we would always recommend checking the government website before driving into any low emission zones, which you can do here: www.gov.uk/clean-air-zones
