Diesel Claim faq's
Did 'Dieselgate' affect my car?
In the UK, there are potentially millions of cars affected, with dozens of manufacturers installing defeat devices. If your diesel car was manufactured between 2008 and 2022, you may be eligible to join the claim. The car must have been purchased or leased between 2008 and 2022.
What manufactures are effected?
Currently, claims are being accepted for BMW, Ford, Jaguar, and Land Rover vehicles, with more manufacturers expected to be added in 2025.
What is the diesel emissions claim about?
Our panel of solicitors represents UK residents whose cars were fitted with defeat devices during the ‘Dieselgate’ scandal. These devices were designed to mislead emissions tests, showing lower emissions than the vehicles actually produced. As a result, harmful NOx gases pollute our air and pose serious risks to public health. This situation is entirely unacceptable. Additionally, many vehicle owners may have suffered financial losses due to these actions by manufacturers.

What happens if I lose my diesel claim?
If your emissions claim is unsuccessful, you won’t be charged. This is because we operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
Why should I make a claim?
Your car manufacturer misled you about the emission of a harmful pollutant, NOx. As a result, car manufacturers must be held accountable and shown that profits cannot come before public health and the environment. Furthermore, you could be entitled to compensation worth thousands of pounds, depending on the specifics of your case.
What if my car is fixed by the manufacturer?
This shouldn’t affect your claim. In fact, many people who received this ‘fix’ later reported reduced performance and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, when submitting your claim through the online form, please let us know if your car was recalled and had the fix applied.
