Diesel Emissions Claim
What is the Diesel Emissions Claim?
The Diesel Emissions Claim involves legal actions against certain car manufacturers accused of using “cheat devices” to manipulate emissions tests for some of their diesel vehicles. This issue came to light with Volkswagen’s “dieselgate” scandal in 2015, where vehicles were found to emit higher levels of pollutants during real-world driving than in laboratory tests.
If you own or have owned an affected diesel car, you may be eligible to join a group legal action to pursue compensation. This compensation could address the potential impact on your vehicle’s value, performance, and environmental credentials.

How exactly were these diesel vehicles Mis-sold?
Diesel vehicles were allegedly mis-sold due to the installation of software designed to manipulate emissions tests. This software, often referred to as a “defeat device” or “cheat device”, could detect when a vehicle was undergoing laboratory testing and adjust engine performance to meet emissions standards.
However, during real-world driving conditions, the vehicles would emit higher levels of harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx). This deception meant that consumers were led to believe their vehicles were more environmentally friendly and compliant with emissions regulations than they actually were.
As a result, the value, performance, and environmental impact of these vehicles may have been misrepresented to buyers.
