ULEZ compliant 75's

10coupe · 15th July 2020, 15:50

Dear all,
I am considering buying a 75 again after selling mine 5 years back. I would be interested to know how the different variants stand regarding the Ultra Low Emission Zones. I have popped a couple of registrations of cars for sale in the checker - a 2.5V6 (2003) and a diesel (2003) and it suggests they are not compliant - I am a bit puzzled as similar cars (Jaguar X type 3.0 V6 for example) are.

Thanks for any advice
Neal

My TF and 190 are both compliant, sadly not the derv tho.

Many thanks for that - may I ask what year your 190 is?- thanks

It’s a 2003 model.

Thank you - it's strange then a 2003 75 2.5V6 is not compliant - I need to investigate more!

thanks for your help

Just checked my 2001 2L v6 and it's registered as compliant

Tbh I think it’s a bit hit and miss with it, expensive mistake if they’re wrong , for you .

Yes, this is what worries me. I live outside the zone at present and don't need to drive inside, but there is talk of extending it in the future.
So am I right in thinking all diesel 75's are a no no?

Print and keep in the car - I doubt they would bother arguing in court!

My 2002 1.8 originally showed as non-compliant but later changed to compliant. There was a thread some time back where someone (MG John?) stated that all petrol 75's, except the very early ones have NOx figures in the compliant band & this is what the system takes note of rather than the Euro group of the vehicle.
