<p>All vehicles must meet strict emission standards before they enter use and emissions
from private cars are then checked at the annual MoT for cars of 3 years age and older.</p><p>
</p><p>Smoky lorries and buses can be reported by telephone via DVSA’s national number,
online via GOV.UK or by sending an email. DVSA will then send a letter to the registered
keeper of the vehicle as recorded on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s database.
The letter is also copied to the remote enforcement office at DVSA. The operator is
then required to undergo an emissions test and submit the results to DVSA’s enforcement
team.</p><p> </p><p>The Government currently has no plans to extend the ability to
report suspected excessive lorry and bus exhaust emissions to private cars and motorcycles.
It remains the user’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle continues to meet these
emissions standards at all times while in use.</p>
