Unchallenged vehicle and payment evidence supported the ULEZ penalty (2026)

Case 9250052525 / 2025-03-22 / Adjudicator Gregor Mcgill Cbe

Spur Road

“I note that the appellant has served no evidence to challenge the evidence put forward by TfL.”

Gregor Mcgill Cbe

TfL alleged that the vehicle used the ULEZ without payment on 12 September 2024. It supplied photographs with a witness statement, payment records and DVLA documentation identifying the registered keeper. Its vehicle evidence described an M1 diesel manufactured in 2010, which TfL said did not meet the relevant emissions standard.

After making a statutory declaration, the appellant submitted no evidence supporting the appeal. Gregor Mcgill Cbe accepted TfL's evidence that the vehicle was chargeable, had travelled within the zone and had not been covered by a daily payment. He expressly noted the absence of evidence challenging TfL's case.

The appeal was refused following consideration of the evidence, rather than treated as an uncontested cancellation. The decision illustrates the difference between reaching the appeal stage and establishing a ground of appeal. It records a finding about this vehicle on the evidence supplied, not a fresh technical assessment of every vehicle manufactured in the same year.
