•Extending the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to the North Circular
Road
and the South Circular Road and the possibility of bringing forward the
introduction earlier than 2020. Under current plans the ULEZ will only
operate within the Congestion Charging Zone and it is due to come in
from
2020.

This will affect a large number of cars in poorer areas I reckon. I guess
it has to happen though. I think it will knock out our car, a 2005 Volvo,
a petrol model that has many thousands of miles left in it and is no smoky
diesel.

The TfL site is astonishingly opaque regarding what cars are allowed or
not. They can't even be bothered to install a query based on numberplate.

It appears to say that Euro 6 diesel cars must be less than 5years old,
but doesn't mention any of the former Euro ratings.

NO

What it is saying is that vehicles of this age are guaranteed to be Euro 6
compliant (because that is the date that manufactures were required to meet
E6).

Older vehicles may be compliant if their particular model met Euro 6
standards before the required date.

Euro 5(D) cars will never be compliant whatever their age
