Londoners are offered up to £5,000 to scrap their older combustion vehicles in a £110 million schemeThe money is intended to help low-income and disabled drivers whose cars don’t meet strict Ultra Low Emissions Zone standards. Currently only the area within London’s North and South Circular Roads is covered by the ULEZ rules that requires drivers of older cars to pay £12.50 per day to enter.
Only drivers with wheelchair-accessible vehicles will qualify for the full £5000 award, which can be used to scrap an older car or to retrofit an older vehicle to make it ULEZ compatible.
There are also a few nifty bits of small print in place to make sure enterprising Londoners don’t game the system and claim cash for cars heading for the crusher anyway. For a car to qualify for the grant it must be registered with the DVLA , be covered by current road tax and MOT roadworthiness certificates and the owner must have been the registered keeper for at least 12 months. The applicant must also not have previously received money from any earlier TfL scrappage scheme.
