Default ULEZ compliant 75's

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

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

thanks for your help

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?

Which reminds me, early last year I did a check and my 2002 190 zt was lez and ulez compliant, but the 2003 one was just lez compliant, strangely enough it is now compliant on both....
