What are the benefits of a Euro 6 car?

Aside from being better for the environment and the health of everyone, a Euro 6 petrol- or diesel-engined car means you don't have to pay London's ULEZ charge. You will also avoid paying in other cities' clean air zones, such as those in Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow, with more set to follow suit. Euro 6 cars emit less CO2 than comparable Euro 5 or lower models, so your VED car tax will also be reduced, while company car tax can also cost less.

How do I know if my car is Euro 6 compliant?

Any car first registered after September 2015 will be Euro 6-compliant, as that was when it became the minimum legal emissions standard. However, lots of cars made years before this date comply with Euro 6 rules, yet others may only meet the Euro 5 rules despite being registered on the eve of the changeover. There are plenty of Euro 6 checkers online, where you can input your car’s registration number to see its emissions standard, but use more than one as they may rely on data from sources of differing levels of accuracy.

What are the Euro 6 emissions standards?

The Euro emissions standards have been governing how clean a vehicle engine has to be in order to be permitted to be sold in Europe since 1992. These began with Euro 1, and the current standard is Euro 6, which became fully implemented in September 2015. Euro 6 standards aim to limit the emission of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter, as many of these contribute to growing health problems linked to vehicle emissions, as well as being bad for the environment.

Stricter Euro 7 rules are currently being finalised after being delayed, with a likely implementation date of late 2025. Most of today's Euro 6-level cars are expected to comply with the future standards.
