Research commissioned by used car marketplace Motorway found that 16 per cent of Londoners, equivalent to 714,000 people, did not own a Ulez-compliant vehicle.
Motorway co-founder said: “With the continued cost of living crisis and the recent expansion of London’s Ulez, more drivers who use the zone are questioning their driving habits.
“We know from our research that the financial implications are causing concern among drivers in London and the surrounding areas.”
Campaigners accuse the mayor of using Ulez as a money-making scheme and have questioned the benefit to the environment.
It comes as the advertising watchdog is set to criticise Transport for London (TfL) for “misleading”
claims about the benefits of the expanded zone.

TfL and Khan have said any net revenue raised through the Ulez will be reinvested into public transport.
Analysis of the impact on air pollution in London are set to be published after six months of the expanded scheme.
