Overview

Renault and Nissan have joined the list of car manufacturers facing trial in the UK for allegedly selling cars with “defeat devices.” Lawyers believe these devices manipulated emissions tests to make vehicles appear more environmentally friendly than they were.

While separate companies, Renault and Nissan have shared a close alliance since 1999, with both having a stake in the other’s business. The High Court has confirmed that Renault and Nissan will face trial (alongside Mercedes and Ford) over alleged emissions cheating. The trial will take place in October 2025.

Anyone who purchased, leased or financed an affected Nissan or Renault vehicle could have a no-win, no-fee compensation claim. There is a deadline to join the claim and anyone who wishes to do so must sign up as soon as possible.

Nissan Renault emissions FAQs

Nissan and Renault face legal action for allegedly fitting several of their diesel models with emissions-reducing software. As well as the potential impact on the environment and human health, this scandal resulted in significant financial losses to owners of these vehicles, due to:

  • high fuel bills
  • excessive maintenance costs
  • cars that were worth less than the drivers paid for them.

The brands included in this case include diesel Renault and Nissan vehicles first registered between 2008 and 2020. However, the wider ‘dieselgate’ scandal involves many more car manufacturers.

Named ‘dieselgate,’ numerous diesel cars and vans are entangled in this environmental scandal, and yours might be among them.

Volkswagen (VW) has already agreed to a £193 million settlement for affected vehicles, setting a precedent that your vehicle manufacturer could soon follow. The list of implicated vehicle manufacturers is extensive. These vehicles were deceptively marketed as environmentally friendly, boasting lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. However, the reality was quite the opposite.

Defeat devices artificially lowered emissions during testing to meet EU regulations. However, when these same vehicles were driven on the road, they proved to emit significantly higher levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases compared to the reported test conditions. This not only posed a threat to the environment but also jeopardised public health.

Lawyers are actively investigating these claims on behalf of individuals, just like you, who have owned or leased one of the affected diesel vehicles. The potential compensation for this claim could be substantial, likely amounting to thousands of pounds. If you purchased or leased a diesel vehicle and suspect you may have been impacted, we strongly encourage you to join the claim today.

Drivers of affected Renault and Nissan vehicles may have experienced higher fuel bills and maintenance costs than was promised. The cars are likely to be worth less than drivers paid for them. We believe these drivers deserve compensation for the possible harm and injustice experienced.

If you have owned or leased an affected diesel vehicle first registered between 2008 and 2020, you could have a NO-WIN, NO- FEE compensation claim. Our simple eligibility checker provides instant clarity. Answer a few straightforward questions, and you’ll know if you qualify for a Renault Nissan emissions group action claim.

Yes. If you bought a used diesel car you may still be eligible for compensation. Try our simple eligibility checker to see if you have a claim.

Yes, if you sold an affected vehicle, you may still be able to join a group action. Try our simple eligibility checker to see if you have a claim.

We cannot say how much compensation you might get if you win your case. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the money owed to you. Affected drivers could get several thousands of pounds if their claim is successful. In this case, we believe drivers could get up to £10,00 in compensation.

In the UK, if a group of people have experienced loss, or otherwise been harmed by an organisation’s law breaking, they can come together to fight for justice. Levelling the playing field when standing up to big businesses, group actions prove there is strength in numbers. At Join the Claim, we bring consumers and law firms together to ensure these group actions are as powerful as possible.

We won’t charge you a single penny to check your eligibility. And we ensure any law firms we connect you with operate on a no-win-no-fee basis.
