I damn well hope so. Too late for my wife though. She refuses to dispose of her 9 year old 3 cylinder diesel Green line which a Labour government encouraged people to buy. She bought it from new and wasn't required to pay VED because of its Green credentials. The scheme is skewed. As usual the bankrupt mayor couldn't afford to compensate those who need it most for scrappage. We don't claim benefits so are expected to shell out for a new car without recompense from a tin pot little demi-god. There are larger ,older gas guzzlers which are deemed compliant. Mayor Sadiq Khan. The only London Mayor that I am aware of to have 24hour round the clock body guards. Small wonder. He has gone against his leaders wishes but neither will be there next G.E. Khan has cooked his goose for the Mayoral election for sure. The Tory candidate will get my vote. She has vowed to cancel ULEZ from day 1 if elected.

[New Judge]

Yup. Stand by for pay-per-mile (or minute) next.

Of course that will not apply to Mayor Khan when he and the two accompanying vehicles containing his security officers drive to take his dogs for a walk on Tooting Common.

Madness.

[smurfchops]

Not great news. I have to buy a new car.

It was Boris that devised it though. And when he was Mayor he wanted to extend the congestion charge as far as Heathrow. If the tories are against it, it's only because they think it might be a vote winner for them.

[Gromit]

Of course it is legal.

It is the Government who introduce policies that are illegal.

[bazwillrun]

"It was Boris that devised it though."

not strictly true...Ken Livingdinosaur introduced the congestion charge, this is just an extension of it using different reasons and predicted mission creep to rob motorists...

Here's some info from a BBC website.
"Whether or not your vehicle can be freely driven in the Ulez depends on its year of manufacture. Broadly, these are the vehicles you can drive in London without paying the Ulez fee:

Diesel cars and vans: 2015 models and newer
Petrol cars and vans: 2006 models or newer
For motorbikes, it's 2007 and up
Buses, coaches and lorries are a little different – they're beholden to the LEZ standards

Whether or not your vehicle is compliant isn't based on some arbitrary year – it's to do with EU standards.

Every few years, as developing technology allows for greener cars, the EU updates the standards that new cars sold from that point on into the EU market must comply with.

When Ulez was first proposed for central London by the then-mayor Boris Johnson, we were up to Euro 6 standard, which covered cars from 2015. Sound familiar? That's the diesel car and van Ulez cut-off point. For petrol cars, it's Euro 4, motorbikes Euro 3 and, as mentioned above, the largest vehicles must be Euro 7."
