Ford, BMW, Audi and other cars whose owners could be owed thousands of pounds

Money Saving Expert has shared a full list of cars whose owners could receive thousands of pounds over the diesel emissions scandal.

More than 90,000 people will be paid a share of £193m after car giant Volkswagen agreed to settle a court case over the "diesel gate" emissions scandal. The car owners took action after it emerged the carmaker had fitted unlawful cheat devices to vehicles to avoid strict pollution targets.

Tens of thousands of owners of affected Volkswagen Group diesel vehicles in England and Wales - including VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars - took legal action for compensation following the emissions testing revelations seven years ago.

If you were the registered keeper or owner of a diesel car or van in England or Wales which was made between 2007 and 2018, you may be able to join a group legal claim over emissions, Money Saving Expert said. And this applies to if you either owned the vehicle outright or bought it on finance.

However, MSE warns: "While some law firms' marketing may make signing up look like a no-brainer, it's important to note that, as with all legal action, there are some serious pros and cons to weigh up."

The car makes involved are:

  • Audi
  • BMW
  • Chrysler
  • Citroen
  • Fiat
  • Ford
  • Hyundai
  • Jaguar
  • Kia
  • Land Rover
  • Mini
  • Mercedes-Benz
  • Nissan
  • Peugeot
  • Porsche
  • Renault
  • Seat
  • Skoda
  • Vauxhall
  • Volkswagen
  • Volvo

MSE also warns people to "only sign up if you genuinely believe you have a case". The full article can be found here
