Is buying a secondhand diesel a good idea, considering impending restrictions?
I would like to purchase a 2014 or 2015 Audi SQ5. For those years, they only come in diesel and my budget doesn’t stretch to the newer petrol versions. Is this a good idea, considering the new MoT regulations and possible clean air zones?
