London households face a shortage of cheap used cars to avoid being hit by the planned expansion of London’s ultra low emission zone (Ulez), according to new analysis.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is expanding the zone to cover the whole of the capital from August 29 to boost air quality, with a £12.50 daily fee for vehicles not meeting minimum standards.

Transport for London (TfL) estimates that more than 200,000 drivers of non-compliant vehicles will be affected.
