There seems to be some confusion over this?
Some websites are saying all classic cars over 40 years old registered in the 'Historic' tax class are exempt from the daily £12.50 ULEZ charge.
Others say "Cars constructed before January 1st 1973, will not have to pay the charges associated with the ULEZ."
Even the official 'Transport for London' website is confused:-
Historic vehicles
"You can apply with the DVLA stop paying vehicle tax if your vehicle was built more than 40 years ago. This date moves forward on a 40-year rolling system. For example, when the ULEZ launched in April 2019, vehicles built before 1979 were eligible to apply for historic vehicle tax class.
All vehicles that have a historic vehicle tax class are exempt from the ULEZ. This tax class excludes any vehicle used commercially (for example, coffee vans or street food vans).
In line with the existing LEZ discount all vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973 are exempt from the ULEZ, regardless of commercial use or otherwise."

Anyone know which statement is actually correct?
In the official TfL vehicle checker linked below my pre-1973 Mini comes up as ULEZ exempt but my post-1973 Mini comes up as charged.
Both are classified as 'Historic' by the DVLA on their V5c's.
Interested to hear what others get when entering their 'Historic' reg number in the official ULEZ vehicle checker below especially if post 1973.
TfL check your vehicle:-

DVLA Historic vehicle tax exemption.
You can apply to stop paying for vehicle tax from 1 April 2023 if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1983.
