Roughly his costs for not having a ULEZ compliant vehicle are £270 per month (ish).
You can PCP some good ULEZ compliant cars for a lot less than that. He could also use the money he gets from his current car as a deposit and he gets a warranty and peace of mind.

I’ve decided that as my son has cost me a fortune over the years, and continues to do so, he can either pay the charge, move to a new flat outside the zone or walk. Not my problem😂

Or buy a cheap petrol runaround. My 57 plate Jazz is ULEZ compliant, worth about £1k and cheap as chipolattas to run. Peeps don’t need to go out and spend big money on new cars, there are plenty of old ULEZ compliant petrol cars out there.

Yea, like D3 V8s with CO2 emissions of 354 g/km. But they’re indeed ULEZ compliant and California ULEV II, too.

I did say cheap, was also thinking of cheap to run.
Hate to think what mpg or ltr/100km a V8 D3 would get togging around London.

Oh, probably the same as having a stuck caliper and the brake shoes seized...? so close to 20 l/100 km

So, asked TfL to explain why the same vehicle on it's original plate was £12.50, and on it's new plate £100, and as you can see, no intelligent answer, just that their system will be changed to reflect either registration will be £100.
Dave
Dave, pretty sure the D4 is either M1 or N1 classification rather than what they're saying it is? Possibly why you're getting the £100 charge? It should state this on your V5 document.
