How ULEZ rules apply to the Wrangler
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (59% of Wranglers tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Diesel (41% of Wranglers tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Wranglers from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (21% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Jeep can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Jeep Wrangler for London: what the MOT data shows
The Jeep Wranglers in this data were first registered between 1993 and 2020. 2020 was the most common year, with 691 tests (10% of the total), and half were registered in 2012 or later.
Wranglers from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 82% of the time, at an average of 37,322 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 64% of the time with 88,249 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Wranglers likely to comply are from 2006. 135 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 73% of the time and averaged 62,691 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Wranglers likely to comply are from 2016. 180 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 72% of the time and averaged 45,185 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Wrangler's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (10.4% of tests); brakes: "efficiency below requirements" (2.7%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.2%). The most frequent advisory was "in such a condition that it is seriously weakened", on 7.0% of tests.
Overall, 72% of Wranglers passed first time, roughly in line with the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 63,811 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
