Car tax and ULEZ for a 2015 car
A car first registered in the UK in 2015 was issued a 64 (January–February), 15 (March–August) or 65 (September–December) plate, unless it was registered in Northern Ireland (no age identifier) or has since moved to a private plate. An imported one is plated when first registered here, so its plate can be newer than its first-use year. 15 plates
A 2015 car is taxed by its CO2 emissions band (A to M), shown on the V5C logbook. [2] Car tax calculator for a 2015 diesel car
For the London ULEZ, a 2015 diesel may or may not meet Euro 6 (every new diesel car registered from September 2015 does). The Euro standard of the car decides, not the year alone. [3] ULEZ checker
