Introduced in January 2023 by London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, the £110 million ULEZ scrappage scheme initially targeted individuals with specific low incomes and disability benefits. Just days before the ULEZ zone expansion in August 2023, the scheme was extended to encompass all residents in London’s 32 boroughs.
To qualify for the grant, residents must own a non-compliant vehicle, including cars, motorcycles, or wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The vehicle should be registered with the DVLA at the applicant’s address on or before 30 January 2022, and must have a valid MOT, insurance, and road tax.
To be ULEZ compliant, a vehicle must meet specific emissions standards for Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM). Petrol cars generally registered after 2005 are compliant, while diesel cars typically registered after September 2015 are compliant. You can verify your vehicle’s exact status using the Transport for London ULEZ checker.
Euro 4 for petrol cars
Euro 6 for diesel cars
Euro 3 for mopeds, motorcycles, motorised tricycles and quadricycles
Residents in Greater London who own non-compliant vehicles can claim various amounts based on the type of vehicle scrapped or retrofitted. The scheme runs first-come, first-served within the ULEZ zone.

Residents owning vehicles that don’t meet ULEZ compliance standards can apply for a grant to replace their affected vehicle, subject to eligibility. Check using the Transport for London vehicle checker.
You must reside in a ULEZ zone and be eligible for the grant, successfully apply pending a Certificate of Destruction, and dispose of the vehicle through a registered Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues the Certificate of Destruction.
An ATF is a registered business handling End of Life Vehicles and issuing a Certificate of Destruction. The ATF is not responsible for the scrappage scheme itself, but provides a quote for the purchase and disposal of the vehicle, issues the COD, and you complete the grant application separately.
