What Is a Diesel Claim?

Many big-name vehicle manufacturers have either been found to have fraudulently cheated emissions testing or are suspected of doing so. In 2015, it was revealed that Volkswagen had intentionally programmed its TDI diesel engines to lower emissions during testing conditions to falsely pass tests. These tests are required for all vehicles before being allowed to be sold to the public; their purpose is to ensure emissions do not exceed legal standards,
which are set to uphold public and environmental safety.

Since Volkswagen paid millions in compensation to customers whose vehicles were affected by their fraudulent test manipulations, many more prominent car manufacturers are being
investigated. A diesel emissions claim is a legal claim against these manufacturers – and anyone who bought or financed a diesel vehicle between 2007 and 2020 (brand-new or second-hand) may be eligible to join. If successful, the case could see claimants paid several thousand pounds in damages.
