Mercedes diesel emissions claim: Are you eligible for compensation?

In recent years, diesel emissions claims have made headlines across the UK, with thousands of vehicle owners taking legal action against major car manufacturers. If you’ve owned or leased a Mercedes-Benz diesel, you may be eligible to join a legal claim and seek compensation for emissions-related issues.  

Don’t miss out, read on to find out if you qualify today!  

What is the Mercedes diesel emissions claim about? 

The claim against Mercedes-Benz relates to allegations that the company installed unlawful ‘defeat devices’ in certain diesel vehicles manufactured between 2009 and 2018. These devices are believed to have manipulated emissions readings during testing, meaning the vehicles may have emitted higher levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in real-world driving conditions than legally permitted. 

Regulators, lawyers, and consumer groups argue this practice misled customers about the environmental impact of their vehicles, potentially reducing their resale value and leading to higher maintenance costs. As a result, affected vehicle owners may be entitled to financial compensation. 

Who can claim Mercedes emissions compensation? 

You may be eligible to join the Mercedes diesel emissions claim if: 

  • You purchased, leased, or financed a Mercedes diesel vehicle manufactured between 2009 and 2018.
  • You acquired the vehicle as a private owner or a business.
  • You bought the vehicle new or second-hand.
  • The vehicle was purchased from an official Mercedes-Benz dealership or another retailer. 

 

Even if you no longer own the vehicle, you could still be eligible for compensation. 

Why should you claim Mercedes diesel compensation? 

If Mercedes-Benz deliberately used unlawful defeat devices to cheat emissions tests, affected drivers may be due compensation for: 

  • The reduction in the vehicle’s value due to the emissions issue.
  • Additional maintenance or repair costs linked to emissions system problems. 

 

Compensation amounts could be as high as £10,000 per vehicle, although the exact sum will depend on individual circumstances and the final outcome of the legal proceedings.
