They certainly aren't enforced around these parts.

All the cars I've ever owned starting with a 2002 Seat Ibiza would have been compliant. But then I've never bought a diesel car because it was always obvious they were worse polluters.
It doesn't affect me as I don't have a car. And I also think the amount of cars in London is pretty insane. But why is City Hall doing this whilst simultaneously cutting bus services and having pay disputes with transport workers?

Toyed with selling my very non compliant V8, but I really don't want to sell such a glorious old car.
It's being mothballed in the garage this week.

Problem is that at certain point in time (say a 2010 plate), if you want a certain model it was diesel or silly money.
I loved having E class estates - because load space and I don't like SUVs.
They were either diesels or a very expensive to maintain 500 HP AMG models
But yes. Diesels bad / ULEZ Good - its the price we pay for being able to breath

No petrol cars manufactured within the last 18 years (Euro 4) or diesel cars manufactured within the last nine years (Euro 6) will be affected

I suppose you have to draw a line somewhere. I could have bought a GTV a year older and it could have had a much smaller engine, lower emissions etc and been liable for ULEZ charges,
yet the car I have is exempt
Even that notwithstanding, I would probably still have bought her. Fortunately our combined annual mileage is even less than a colleague drives in a month

there's some serious beef here within the outer Ldn councils, wondered what Urbs think about it.
Traffic is terrible around Croydon for example, what should you do about it?
Whose responsibility , the council or TFL?

I'm luck to escape the exapansion, my work falls about 100 metres short of the start of the zone. I was super worried as I can't afford a new car, and literally can't get to work on public transport. I'd have probably had to have changed bases and that would mean I'd get paid less.
We'll have to work out what we do about seeing my partners dad though, its going to have to be train or pay, which isn't great when we have to take heavy stuff to his house.

Someone made me an offer on ebay the other day, for something I'm selling that's collection only. They made a really low offer, and went on about how this was as much as they could justify seeing as they'd have to pay to come into the ULEZ. I think they were looking for sympathy, like getting a few more pounds for ebay items was going to be worth more to me than breathing clean air. I pressed the "decline offer" button.

My friend works for a leisure vehicle rental company and after multiple complaints from people not realising they were inside the ULEZ when coming to collect vehicles and getting fines which they thought the rental company should pay, they've just started including the cost in the hire charge now so they can just pay it for people.

I would have thought all hire cars were relatively new and ULEZ compliant; clearly not.

That's "recreational vehicles".
As in vehicles you use for cooking up recreational drugs.

It’s not the hire vehicles, it’s the people driving their own vehicles to collect them (they hire campers)
If you are renting out things for a couple of hundred a day, and idiots are leaving you bad reviews online it’s probably worthwhile

reminds me of thr time I had my car towed from where I was stopping in Islington. car ended up in a pound within the congestion zone. I had to pay the congestion charge on top of the fee for getting my car back. grrr.

A friend at work has a perfectly well maintained and religiously serviced VW 1.2 litre Polo that happens to be diesel. It falls foul of ULEZ.My ancient Corsa is ULEZ compliant!
Very smug
She could be wrong but she's certainly not one to make shit up; in any case, she says that some models from some manufacturers fail the ULEZ test not because their emissions have been proven to exceed the limits, but because the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to have the model tested by TFL. So many models were deemed as not compliant simply by default.
My own experience is also interesting. My 50cc scooter, about 12 years old when ULEZ was first introduced, was deemed as non-compliant, I guess because it was a two-stroker. But still a fucking 50 cc petrol engine ffs. Meanwhile, my work's 20+ y.o. Suzuki Carry van, which has a 1.3L petrol engine, is compliant. Er, okay...
