Anyway, isn't the tax on diesels only? People can always get an old
petrol-engined car as I have.

It does apply to petrol as well, but only on much older vehicles. In 2020,
the many five-year-old diesel cars will be subject to the tax, but only
14-year-old petrol cars (of which not many remain on the roads).

Are you sure about that? I though any diesel sold in 2006 or later would
have a sufficiently clean engine.
