Which are the best ULEZ non-compliant cars that will shortly be dumped on the second-hand market when the ULEZ extension comes in on 25 October?

Hoping to find a bargain 4 seat coupe/cabriolet.

Basically any petrol car registered before the end of 2004 so you're really into "bangernomics"

Good for people living outside the Zone who have no interest in driving into the Zone. Isn't there some reduction for people living inside the ULEZ, as opposed to people driving into the Zone?

Up till the date it comes in, those who live in the boundary get 90% discount to give them time to buy ulez compliant vehicles, from the time it comes in and they don`t change vehicles they will be charged at full rate :(

How dare you insinuate that my 1980 ULEZ exempt Triumph TR7 is a banger!

My friends in Greenwich have been forced to replace their non ULEZ car only to find cruise ships docked near the Maritime Museum belching out the dirtiest of fumes

Hopefully not still burning disgusting bunker fuel. I thought that had been banned.

The heavy residual marine fuels have not been banned, there is a cap on the sulphur content of them.

I wonder if this has a bearing on the recent purchase, by a friend, of an immaculate low mileage 2003 Bentley Arnage for less than the price of a new Fiesta?

There's one for you...

There must be a lot of high mileage, well-cared-for, hardy pre-EU6 diesel mini cabs floating around going for peanuts.

I can imagine there are owners of fairly late diesel cars will be feeling a bit miffed over the ULEZ extension. Certainly the last of the diesel mkII Skoda Superb circa 2015 were only Euro 5 so will have to pay ULEZ.

Fortunately I bought a petrol, OK - for now!!

I've read a couple of articles and even on TfL's own site, it states that when the ULEZ zone's expanded at the end of October, non-compliant cars will need to pay the charge if they drive

the car in the zone.

From TfL ...

From 25 October 2021, when the ULEZ expands to the North and South Circular Roads, residents must pay the full daily ULEZ charge to drive a vehicle in the zone if it does not meet the ULEZ standards

What if you live in the zone but not drive the car much, maybe once a week, do you still get charged the daily rate even if it's just parked up and for being in the zone?

Doesn`t really say about that,which really should be made clearer IMO, but as TFL have cameras all over London it will be impossible to drive anywhere within the area and not get caught, only states (if you drive in zone) but needs clarifying from TFL,

I don`t get why they havent clarified as a lot will be wondering about that...

That seems perfectly clear to me.

To drive a vehicle, question was about a parked vehicle unless I misread it, no mention of a parked car in the zone unless its classed as being driven, if thats clear?

Pity the same account cannot be used for this charge as used for the Dartford Crossing ... joined up thinking like this clearly is a weak point.

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.
