I would make the case that you were misled by the checker.
You can't use your car in the zone now as you probably know - in Scotland all the zones ban non-compliant cars.

You need to find the regulations and the scheme details. I had a quick look online and it's a struggle.

i have been driving my 2014 Audi A4 through Aberdeen ULEZ since it started back in 2023. i previously checked on the scottish ulez website which said my car was acceptable for use in ulez. however, 2 weeks ago, i removed my private 'vanity' plate from my car and i just received a ulez pcn (£60 but discount 50% if pay within 14 days). when i check now with the new number plate, it says my car is not compliant.
my car was registered May 2014 and on researching this a bit further it would appear it could be a euro 5 car which is not compliant. the v5 document does not state the euro class but when i look at the emissions data, it was appear that the nox value is too high for euro 6.
is it worth appealing this in the fact that the old number plate states it was ok to use in ulez or should i just accepts the charges now?
my worry is that i ventured into ulez at least 2 times after the pcn date and the charges apparently double each time so could be liable for an additional £120 and £240 at least.
