Your vehicle's disabled tax class exempts it from ULEZ

Vehicles registered with DVLA in the 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicle' tax class do not have to pay the ULEZ charge, and this exemption runs until 24 October 2027. If your vehicle falls into one of those tax classes, any ULEZ penalty charge notice issued to you is an administrative mistake.

Legal basis

Greater London LEZ Charging Order — Disabled Vehicle Exemption; TfL ULEZ Exemption Scheme

How to identify this in your case

Vehicle V5C shows tax class 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicle'.
