ULEZ windscreen stickers.

I tried to get a ULEZ windscreen sticker for my car recently at the Post Office in Benejuzar but was refused because they said my car is a diesel and too old under the current rules.
My car is not a diesel - it is petrol. And it s not too old under the regulations.
I understand I have to make an appointments at a Regional Traffic Centre in Elche to query the matter and take my log book ( which I will do once I am back in Spain - at home in Scotland at the moment).
Has anyone else had a similar issue ? Was the matter resolved ? What action was necessary?y

If you go to the DGT web page below, you can enter your Reg number and that will bring up all the details they hold for your car. You can apply online and they send the sticker to your address.

Just a question. What happens to all the cars that don’t qualify for a badge? There must be thousands of cars that won’t be able to drive into the centre of the relevant cities. There must also be thousands of cars whose owners actually live in the centre of these cities.
My car which I bought new in July 2005….a Mercedes C Class 220CDI doesn’t qualify, but if I had bought it in January 2006 it would qualify. Nothing changed as far as I am aware in those 6 months so it seems all a bit arbitrary.

D:

Yes it’s all very odd and as you say, very arbitrary. Same car with same engine possibly produced in the same week as yours but registered a few months later. No idea how this will be policed or controlled but you’ve posed a very pertinent question.

Let’s hope someone on the TQ forum can shed some light.
