Euro 6 from September

I see the SMMT website says "From 1 September 2015, all new car MODELS sold in the UK must meet this low emissions standard". Does this mean, then, that existing models may continue?

No. New Type Approvals for new Models were from 1st September 2014. All cars first registered within the EC from 1st September 2015 must meet the EU6 emissions standard. That's everything.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
