ULEZ Check
Check the vehicle details that matter for ULEZ: fuel type, Euro status, CO2 emissions and registration year. Always confirm charge liability with TfL before driving.
What a ULEZ Check Looks At
ULEZ compliance depends on emissions standards, not simply vehicle age. VEHIXA can help you inspect the vehicle details that influence compliance, including fuel type, year of manufacture, CO2 emissions and Euro status where DVLA data provides it.
TfL is the authority for London road user charging. Use VEHIXA to understand the vehicle, then use TfL's official vehicle checker before driving inside the zone or paying any charge.
Current TfL Guidance to Know
- ULEZ operates across London boroughs and the City of London; the M25 is not included.
- TfL states ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day.
- Petrol cars, vans and minibuses generally need Euro 4 NOx standards.
- Diesel cars, vans and minibuses generally need Euro 6 NOx and PM standards.
- Vehicles that do not meet the standard and are not exempt may need to pay the daily charge.
Why Check Before Buying
ULEZ can affect running costs, resale value and whether a car suits your daily routes. Diesel vehicles are especially important to check, because Euro 6 compliance is the usual benchmark for cars and light vans.
Combine a ULEZ review with a car spec check, tax check and MOT history check before you travel to view a car.
