I haven’t ignored it. I have checked the details and it is showing as non-compliant. As it’s a diesel guzzling pickup truck I tend to agree TfL may be right on this?
What makes no sense is I didn’t get any notifications relating to ULEZ when I travelled in December?
It’s a Nissan Navara WH16 PWN if that helps?

I'm quite shocked that a 2016-registered vehicle is not ULEZ compliant, and would suggest you get the emissions figures from Nissan.

DVLA website shows the emissions as attached.

Please post up a picture of the emissions section of the V5c of the registration doc.
Is your Navara fitted with an AdBlue system?
And is the exact model a Nissan NP300 Navara Tekna DCI Auto.

A diesel car registered March 2016 should be Euro 6.

However this seems to be a goods vehicle “Category N1“: Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes. For these the Euro 6 limit came in a year later, September 2016, than for "Category M1" passenger cars.

Here's the V5C the right way round:



The CO level looks OK but I don't understand the particulates value, as even the euro 1 standard from 1993 had a maximum level of 0.25 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards#Emission_standards_for_light_commercial_vehicles (scroll down to the table for Category N1 Class III & N2), my suspicion is that the values on the V5C are in g/KwH rather than g/Km.

Looking at the table at https://content.tfl.gov.uk/lez-scheme-order.pdf on page 31 all the values are in g/KwH, so I think you'd have to contact Nissan for some definitive figures.

OP, the NOR you've posted allowed payment of £90 - effectively the discount - until 14 days beginning the date of the letter, 8 April. This expired on 21st so you're in for the full penalty or worse if you don't register an appeal in time.

IMO, the thread has missed a key aspect of your account which has not been examined.



in December’23 I drove to T3 Heathrow to drop off my kids and returned a week later to collect them.

My husband and I used Heathrow T5 to travel in March ‘24. We used the Meet and Greet parking facility and returned a week later.
A few days after we arrived home I received a PCN for the day we got to the airport. It was an immediate £90 fine. A week later I got a second one for the day we got home

Why didn’t I get any penalty notices in December? Same vehicle, same trip.

Exactly. Unless the limits changed between Dec. and March or you did not enter the ULEZ area (route to T3 being different from T5) but as 'The ULEZ was expanded across all London boroughs on 29 August 2023.', that's not likely to be the case, then IMO you had a legitimate expectation that your vehicle was compliant and not as you posted 'It’s a Nissan Navara so I’d thought it wouldn’t be compliant.'.

- unless your registered keeper address has changed since Dec. '23 and there are two more PCNs in circulation!

@H C Andersen it is entirely possible that the cameras did not pick up the car in December 2023 (no ANPR camera is 100% effective), or maybe there were problems with the camera, either intrinsic to the camera or caused by vandals.

@Susaq you need to either get the emissions data from Nissan and appeal, or pay the penalty. If you do nothing the penalty will increase by 50% to £270.
