You can join a diesel emissions claim if you’ve owned a diesel vehicle that was affected by the ‘dieselgate’ emissions scandal. This involved vehicle manufacturers fitting ‘defeat devices’ with the aim of recording lower emissions during tests.
You may have decided against purchasing the vehicle if you knew that it had a defeat device installed, or you could have ended up selling the vehicle for less. You may have also paid more in diesel over the years than initially suggested by the car maker if your car wasn’t as efficient as advertised. The expert panel of emissions solicitors will look to claim compensation for you. This can cover any damages you might have suffered because of the cheat device, which can include the vehicles having a worse fuel economy than first advertised.
The ‘dieselgate’ emissions scandal began in 2015 when it was discovered that certain manufacturers had programmed some vehicles to intentionally reduce emissions under test conditions to meet legal requirements. Affected vehicles may have released up to 40x the amount of nitrogen oxides that were released during testing, with buyers none the wiser this was the case.
If you had a diesel BMW between 2008-2020, try the eligibility checker to see if you can join the claim. You do not need to still have ownership of the car but need to have been the legal owner at some point during this timeframe.
