Top 5 Diesel Emission Myths Every Range Rover Owner Needs to Stop Believing
If you own a Range Rover, you already know it’s a symbol of luxury, performance, and status. But did you know many Range Rover diesel models are part of the UK’s growing wave of diesel emission claims? Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around — and it’s stopping many owners from claiming compensation they legally deserve.
Let’s clear the air. Here are the top 5 myths about diesel emission claims every Range Rover owner should know (and why you should act now). For more information click here:-
Myth 1: “It’s Only About Volkswagen — Not Range Rover”
Many people believe that the diesel emissions scandal (often called Dieselgate) only involves Volkswagen. While it’s true VW was the first brand exposed, Land Rover (Range Rover), along with brands like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Ford, and others, have all been investigated for potential emissions cheating.
If your Range Rover diesel model was sold between 2009 and 2020, you may be eligible to claim. Don’t rule yourself out just because you don’t drive a VW — the scandal spans multiple manufacturers.
Myth 2: “My Car Runs Fine, So There’s No Problem”
Here’s the catch: the issue isn’t how your car drives — it’s about how it was sold to you.
Manufacturers allegedly installed defeat devices in diesel vehicles that tricked emissions tests, making cars appear cleaner in the lab than they were on the road. So even if your Range Rover runs beautifully, the claim is about misrepresentation — you were promised a cleaner, more efficient car than you actually got.
It’s not about your driving experience; it’s about the rights you have as a consumer.
Myth 3: “Making a Diesel Claim Is Too Complicated or Expensive”
Good news: most diesel emission claims in the UK are no-win, no-fee. That means you won’t pay upfront costs or legal fees unless the claim succeeds.
Reputable claim firms handle the paperwork, deadlines, and negotiations for you. All you need to do is check if your Range Rover qualifies (usually takes just a few minutes online) and provide some basic details.
You don’t need to go to court or pay legal bills — it’s designed to be as smooth as possible for drivers.
Myth 4: “I’ll Only Get a Few Pounds, So It’s Not Worth It”
Many Range Rover owners underestimate how much compensation they could receive.
Current estimates suggest UK diesel emission claims could lead to payouts of £1,000–£10,000 per vehicle, depending on the model, age, and circumstances. That’s not pocket change — especially when you consider it’s money you’re entitled to because of corporate wrongdoing.
Even if you end up on the lower end of the scale, it’s still worth claiming what’s yours.
Myth 5: “It’s Too Late to Make a Claim”
This is one of the most dangerous myths because time is ticking.
While some legal deadlines have passed, many claims — including those against Land Rover — are still open. But the window for filing is closing fast, and once it shuts, you lose the right to compensation forever.
Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, it’s better to check now than regret missing out later.

It only takes a few minutes — and it could mean thousands in compensation.
Don’t let these common myths hold you back from claiming what you’re owed. Whether you own a Range Rover Evoque, Discovery, Sport, or Velar, the diesel emission claims process is there to protect you.
The truth? You have nothing to lose by checking — and potentially thousands of pounds to gain.
