ULEZ

Post by henrym3 » Thu Nov 12, 2026 8:06 pm

Can someone confirm that the 2002 x5 doesn’t have to pay the above daily charge of £12.50. I tried to pay but when entering my reg it says no charge???

ULEZ

Keep any emails or screenshots to prove the system said ‘No’ if they come after you.

Everything I can find says the 4.4V8 is EU3 in 2002, same for the 4.6is and 3.0d. None of the E53 are listed as anything other than EU3 right up to 2006.

If your car meets the Euro 4 standard then you’re exempt (petrol only). Diesel engined vehicles must meet Euro 6. EU3 is non-compliant with the ULEZ.

Euro 4 type approval was 2005 (so three years later), so you’ll need to check your V5 and see what that says.
