Official UK Government data shows that over the last 50 years air quality has improved by 75% . https://www.gov.uk/government/statis...air-pollutants
Possibly a large amount of that is reduction of coal fires . But vehicles have cleaned up by huge amounts so that in most cases the air going into the engine is actually not as clean as the air coming out of the exhaust .

But of course the facts are not convenient for politicians looking for excuses to increase taxes on everybody , and motorists are the easiest target .
