Could You Be In Line for a Windfall with a Diesel Claim?

We're on a mission to uncover the truth behind the alleged diesel emissions fraud that plagued several of the best-known car manufacturers from 2009 to 2020. Accusations of installing defeat devices to manipulate emissions tests and regulations rocked the automotive industry and meant that lots of British motorists were duped into buying cars that they thought were greener and more energy efficient than they are. Here at CheckMOT we can help you get the money you are entitled to from the car manufacturers, and all you need to get started is to complete the short form to find out more.

Our aim is to secure compensation for every owner of a diesel vehicle, which was first registered between 2009 and 2020. This could potentially amount to up to £10,000 per driver. In May 2022, the Volkswagen Group agreed to a landmark £193M settlement, offering hope that justice will prevail in similar cases.  The Dieselgate scandal involves millions of diesel cars and vans that emitted pollutants far above established legal limits, endangering public health and the environment. Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Vauxhall, Ford, Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Nissan, Skoda, Jaguar, Volvo, Hyundai, and Land Rover are among the manufacturers involved in the scandal. Some manufacturers have already paid substantial compensation to affected drivers, could you be due some compensation too?

No Win, No Fee

Although the exact amount of compensation varies based on several factors, on average it can be up to £10,000 for each driver. Cases are usually taken on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means that in the unlikely event that your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t pay a penny. Signing up for a compensation claim costs nothing, and if your claim is successful, the percentage fee covers everything from legal fees to court fees. You really do have nothing to lose by starting the claims process, and everything to potentially gain.

The process for making a diesel claim is different in Scotland, on account of the separate legal system. If you’re a Scottish based driver then the process will be handed by a different team but the end result will be the same; you’ll get the compensation which is due to you.

How Do I Sign Up?

Starting the process of your diesel claim couldn’t be easier. All you’ll need to do is give us a few basic details about your car, and some contact details. We’ll take it from there and can easily work out whether your vehicle is one of the makes and models which was affected by the scandal of the faked emissions. If it is, then we’ll guide you through the next stages of the process to claim what is due.

Reasons To Claim

Many diesel drivers don’t realise just what an effect the fake claims can have on their finances and driving. Emissions which are more toxic than they should be can impact on the air that we breathe, and many drivers also report much higher fuel and maintenance costs than they would have had if the figures stated on the manufacturer reports were accurate.

The initial reports into the fake diesel emissions claims surfaced in 2015 and involved major European manufacturer Volkswagen. Since then, similar issues have been found with other large manufacturers like Mercedes, Renault, Nissan and Vauxhall and many more. If you’re unsure whether the brand you drive is caught up in the scandal, then get in touch and we’ll tell you.

Second and Multiple Claims

Many households have more than one car, and it’s entirely possible that you might have two vehicles both involved in the problems with emissions. The law allows the same person to put in claims for multiple vehicles, as long as they are the owners of each one. As long as you meet the basic criteria of being the owner of a diesel car or van, first registered in the UK between 2009 and 2020, then you can get in touch with us to submit your claim. Claims can also be accepted from people who owned second-hand vehicles during this period – you don’t need to have been the owner from new to potentially qualify for compensation.
