• Hi car thread, is it wise to avoid diesels right now? Are they going to be taxed off the road? I’m in the market for a big estate (5 series / E class / A6 / Accord) budget is about 10k but just about everything is diesel. Do I have any better options? Cheers.

  • Depends where you live; the low emission zone is being extended in London soon.

    Also depends on what spec engine you can get for that money; euro5, euro6 etc. Euro6 should be exempt from tax for a while but something like euro4 will be taxed out of existence within 5 years probably.

    Good news is that 2nd hand diesel market is tough for dealers at the moment so you can get more for your money.
