Euro 6 diesel UK charges

[Sdrawde]

If I get a Euro 6 rated diesel Moho, do I get charged to drive in the UK low emission zone areas?

I just spoke with a dealer who assures me the engine is Euro 6, but when I put the reg in the charge calculator, it's costing to drive it in those areas every day?

Very confusing?

Is it a personal reg plate off an older vehicle?

 

[jezport]

If its had a personal plate on it can take a few weeks to update.

 

[Sdrawde]

Nope. It's been on the van for years according to MOT history

It's a 2016 plate

Euro 5 could still be registered until September 2016, need to check when it was registered, I bought a van that was registered august 2016 and it was euro 5 (didn’t mind as I got it half list price)

 

[Lenny HB]

Motorhomes don't have the emissions listed so they go by date. So even if it's Euro 6 the registration date may be throwing it out as Euro5.

 

[Sdrawde]

Thanks everyone

I'm going to have to cancel the van I think.

I spoke with the dealer earlier today and asked him to specifically check for me.
The reason I asked him so specifically was in my research regarding the van, someone on here had the exact same issue a couple of years ago

Yes, it's a 16 plate. Would have thought the dealer new better as he told me he sold the van from new and has looked after at it ever since. When I rang him he sounded genuine that he knew it was euro 6.
Thanks for all your help

Dealers pah dvla are a law unto themselves regardless of what the dealer said so many thave been caught out fiat class it as 5+

 

[Sdrawde]

Yes, the government one.
It shows charges for most places except Manchester (where I happen to live) as obviously it's been delayed here.

I'm very much apolitical, but I almost love the guy.
I wish he was my brother. He helps more people than virtually all of us on here put together could ever do. It just doesn't get known about, unless you know.

But he only has information from an unreliable source regarding emissions so not his fault

 

[WESTY66]

I’m euro5 and I’m showing NO charges for lez zones

 

[Pausim]

My 65 plate Mercedes Hymer was Euro 6, did not show as 6 on the V5C but still comes up as no charges.

 

[pagey]

See what a f*** up it is several merc cars come up as e6 even in 2015 but with m1 on the v5 fiat motorhomes come up as euro 6

It says no charges for greater Manchester. On the govt site but on the Manchester site it shows up as £14

That's not the Manchester LEZ site, it's a commercial site that will skim money off the top of any payment you make through it.

There were fields full of unsold vans and chassis cabs fitted with Euro 5 engines in 2016, so I was told by someone who would know. I wonder how the manufacturers cleared that stock?

 

[Guigsy]

The legislation said that automotive manufacturers had to roll the last Euro 5 chassis out the factory gates before a certain date. But motorhome converters then spent an indeterminate amount of time with them sitting on their yards and then fitting them out, before they were eventually shipped and registered. So there's not really any clear registration date that says if a motorhome is Euro 5 or Euro 6. I think there was a cut-off, but it was pretty late.
