Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with with checking Vespa NOx emissions levels? I'm about to register Vespa PX200E in UK (imported form spain) and was wondering if I could fill in the V55/V form with low levels of emission to have a proof for ULEZ exemption. Is there anywhere to check emission levels for Vespas?
Cheers

Think so, has yours got the cat exhaust on it?

I thought the cat exhaust was only fitted to 125 and 150 machines, also as it is 2 stroke it will probably not meet ULEZ target, remember the only reason for stopping making the px200 back in 2003 was because it could not meet emission regulations for Europe so I do not think it will meet the target readings. It was also the European emission limits that finished the 2 stroke PX, as even with the Cat on it still was unable to meet the emission levels required. Remember 2 stroke is total loss lubrication, it burns the oil so it is difficult to make a clean 2 stroke. But good luck and let us know how it goes as it is an interesting situation, some cities have discussed allowing old classic vehicles to enter as although they do not meet emission levels, they are part of our motoring history.

Thanks all for the answers! And thank you Mij for the link... seems I'll be OK with PX. Very glad there is way around ULEZ.
Cheers
