Southy Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 result! You confirmed your vehicle as: MIG9865Red PORSCHE BOXSTER S You are not subject to the ULEZ. You do not need to take any action. However, other charges may apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the prompt - having been focused on our much newer diesels I had always assumed my 986S would be liable for the charge...... It isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the baron Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just checked mine, it IS subject to an emissions charge, bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 so glad i up'd my budget and bought a euro 6 compliant (oct 2014) BMW diesel. Some marques were early adopters, but it became law for manufacturer to sell only euro 6 diesels from September 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Looks like a model year cut off somewhere as my 2000 S doesn't comply. Cut off must be between 2000 and 2003 judging by posts so far but as the ULEZ checker is easy to use might not be worth putting too much effort in to nailing it down.

AMacdonald Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 My 2003 2.7 is compliant, not that I'd ever contemplate driving it anywhere in london, let alone near the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 My 53 Boxster S is exempt. For the chap with the 04 car above, is it a 550? They had more power oem, maybe they have different emissions? Otherwise I’d suggest there must be an error somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll live within the zone come 2021(Wandsworth) so looks like I'll need to upgrade the car in the next year or so! Still don't get why my car is non-compliant when identical spec year older ones are not! Anyone else on here have an '04 986 S and fancies checking if their car is compliant on the site?

map Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 My earlier jubilation may be short lived....... This site claims to show the relevant data for our model from start to 2014 or thereabouts: http://www.emissionsfinder.com/manufacturer/porsche/model/boxster?page=4&ipp=25&# Via this link the 2002 3.2s is shown as Euro3...... Then if you read this from the AA it suggests that it is unlikely that earlier cars will be compliant simply because of the dates the various Euro# ratings came into force: https://www.theaa.com/driving-advice/fuels-environment/euro-emissions-standards What's odd is that my V5C doesn't appear to show a Euro rating at all - there isn't even a blank labelled for it. The V5C has the CO2 but nothing else - got to wonder where the TFL website is getting its data from. At the moment TFL's view suits me - but I cannot help but wonder what will happen if they're wrong and decide to backdate charges against their erroneous data.

Clivescoobydo Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I just checked my 02 3.2 S (pre facelift) and I'm not subject to ULEZ.........that's added another couple of grand to the value 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only hitting the top part of Wandsworth, if you live close to the river, tough luck. £12.50 per day is extremely harsh, especially on a Boxster, the exhaust fumes smell so good! https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/ulez-where-and-when?intcmp=54312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
