Hi all
ULEZ affects all cars which don't reach EURO4 standard, introduced around 2006. If your car is older, from April 19 you have to pay the surcharge 24/7 in the Congestion Zone, and from October 2021, 24/7 in all of London between the north and south circular roads. This means scrapping or selling to someone outside London.
BUT according to
http://www.emissionsfinder.com/nissan-micra-k11-series-10-3-5-door-10cc
my 2001 micra and many others have such low emission figures:
CO: 0.614g/km THC: 0.064g/km NOx: 0.028g/km
that despite being registered as EURO3
Euro 3 emissions standards (petrol) CO: 2.3g/km THC: 0.20g/km NOx: 0.15g/km
they pass EURO4
Euro 4 emissions standards (petrol) CO: 1.0g/km THC: 0.10g/km NOx: 0.08g/km.
Transport for London wrote I should make my case for exemption by sending in my registration document,
which MIGHT show the 3 emissions figures - unfortunately it doesn't,
and therefore also a letter from Nissan confirming the 3 figures.
Nissan customer services refuse to send such a letter, but only instead a Certificate of Conformity for £114.
I told Nissan many Nissan owners in the London will want to know they can keep their car, and how great it is Micras have such
low emissions, before regulations required them. So if they could inform TfL which cars (from VIN numbers XXX to YYY) conform,
it would be a bonus for the brand they could even advertise, and save us and TfL a lot of trouble applying for each car individually,
and much expense for those who just don't know about it (obviously here, TfL is not that keen).
"A letter isn't going to happen" - it seems they want to make £114 as many times as possible.
TfL are not interested in live emission figures from a test centre - also it seems MOTs don't measure in the same way.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Or want to join in asking Nissan again?
Cheers Daniel
