Sheffield is the fourth-largest city in England and the largest in South Yorkshire, with approximately 290,000 registered vehicles and a highly active used car market driven by a large student population, a growing tech and creative economy and a strong tradition of independent car dealing. Sheffield operates a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) covering the city centre, in force since February 2023, charging non-compliant vehicles a daily fee of £10 (cars) to enter the zone. The Sheffield CAZ has had a significant impact on used car values in the South Yorkshire market: non-compliant diesel vehicles have depreciated sharply, while Euro 6 diesels, hybrids and EVs carry a sustained premium. For buyers who commute into central Sheffield daily, the cumulative cost of a non-compliant vehicle can exceed £3,500 per year — making CAZ compliance one of the most financially important checks in any Sheffield used car purchase. Sheffield's used car market is particularly well-supplied with fleet and company cars from the city's manufacturing and healthcare sectors — Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest employers in the region and generates a consistent flow of staff vehicles into the market. These vehicles often have well-documented service histories but high mileages, so verifying real wear against the mileage record is essential. Volkswagen, Ford, Vauxhall, BMW and Toyota lead demand in the South Yorkshire used car market. At Drivium, we cross-reference every vehicle against official DVSA, DVLA and European records to give Sheffield buyers and sellers verified, factual data.

"I commute into Sheffield city centre five days a week and needed a CAZ-compliant car. The seller told me the diesel Skoda Octavia I was looking at was Euro 6. I checked Drivium to be sure — it was Euro 5. That would have cost me £2,600 a year in daily charges alone. I found a Euro 6 equivalent for slightly more and it saved me a fortune over the year. Never take the seller's word for it."

"Sold my 2020 Kia Niro hybrid in Sheffield. Included the Drivium report — which confirmed CAZ compliance, clean MOT history and no finance — in the AutoTrader listing from day one. The car sold in three days above asking price. Buyers in Sheffield are very aware of the CAZ now and the verified compliance confirmation made the difference."
