Clean air zones
Is the Abarth 500 ULEZ compliant?
It depends on the fuel and the Euro emissions standard of the car, not on the model. Here is how 102,816 DVSA MOT tests of the Abarth 500 with a recorded fuel, from 2022 to 2025 on cars aged 3 to 25 at test, split by fuel and first-use year, and which of them generally meet the London ULEZ and clean air zone standards.
MOT data updated · Zone rules checked
Short answer, by fuel
- Petrol: petrol cars first used in 2006 or later generally meet Euro 4, the standard for petrol cars. All petrol 500 MOT tests (n=102,816) were on cars first used in 2006 or later.
Fuels and first-use dates
Share of Abarth 500 MOT tests by fuel, and the share on cars first used late enough to meet the standard by date alone. We count by the car’s age at test, so cars close to a cut-off are left out of that share: it is a lower bound.
| Fuel | Tests (n) | Share | Meets by date if first used | Share that do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 102,816 | 100.0% | 2006 or later | 100.0% |
By first-use year
Every first-use year of the Abarth 500 with enough MOT tests, and what the date alone says for each fuel. We do not have the fuel split for each year. Cars under 3 years old have no MOT yet, so the newest first-use year here is 2022.
