Edinburgh
Edinburgh is built on a proud sense of heritage, but also hills and cobbled streets – something to keep in mind when shopping for a used car here. The recently enforced Low Emission Zone (LEZ) covers much of the city centre and runs every day of the year, so it’s crucial to choose a car that’s LEZ-compliant if you plan regular trips into town. Generally, this means looking for newer petrol cars, Euro 6 diesels or hybrids and electrics – the best options if you want to avoid charges and help keep Edinburgh’s air clean.
If you love exploring the hills of the Lothians or the steep slopes up to the castle, a car with a bit of traction and not too low-slung will suit the terrain. A compact hatchback or a small SUV often fits the bill: easy to park, efficient and steady on those gradients. And as the city’s streets can be narrow and busy, consider something agile for weaving through traffic. You can check compliance on the Edinburgh Council website. Above all, take your time – a thoughtful choice now will pay off with every journey.
