How ULEZ rules apply to the T-Cross
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 (96% of T-Crosses tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (4% of T-Crosses tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Volkswagen T-Cross for London: what the MOT data shows
The Volkswagen T-Crosses in this data were first registered between 2019 and 2021. 2020 was the most common year, with 7,620 tests (52% of the total), and half were registered in 2020 or later.
Every T-Cross in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 93% of the time at 19,863 miles on average, and the oldest (2019) passed 90% at 24,648 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the T-Cross's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (1.9% of tests); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.6%); visibility: "not working" (0.9%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 9.0% of tests.
Overall, 90% of T-Crosses passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 22,232 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
