Were You Affected by the Renault Diesel Emissions Scandal? You Could Be Owed ÂŁ1,000s in Compensation
Did you own or lease a diesel Renault between 2008 and 2018? If so, you could be eligible to claim thousands of pounds in compensation. At Diesel Claim UK, we’re helping UK drivers affected by the Renault emissions scandal to check their eligibility and potentially recover damages — all on a no win, no fee basis.
What’s the Issue With Renault Diesel Vehicles?
Renault is under investigation for potentially misleading drivers over the true emissions output of its diesel vehicles. Much like the infamous Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal, it’s believed that Renault may have installed “defeat devices” into certain models — software designed to cheat emissions tests.
These devices can detect when a car is undergoing lab testing and artificially lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to pass regulations. However, under real-world driving conditions, the emissions are significantly higher — contributing to air pollution and exposing drivers to potential health and financial risks.
Up to 700,000 Renault diesel vehicles in the UK may be affected, and if you owned or leased one between 2008 and 2018, you may be eligible for compensation.
What Is a Defeat Device and Why Does It Matter?
A defeat device is software used to manipulate emissions results during testing. Regulators first raised concerns in 2016, when Renault vehicles showed abnormal levels of NOx emissions — a harmful pollutant linked to serious health issues like asthma, cancer, and even mental health problems.
If Renault did install such devices, it would mean customers were misled into thinking they were driving environmentally friendly vehicles when in fact, their cars were polluting far more than disclosed. That’s not just unethical — it could be grounds for legal action.
What Could You Claim For?
If it’s proven that Renault lied about emissions, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Loss of vehicle value
Overpayment due to misrepresented eco-performance
Costs from vehicle recalls or repairs
Stress, inconvenience, and loss of trust in the brand
At Diesel Claim UK, we’re working with a panel of regulated emissions solicitors who are ready to help you take action. Claims could be made for breach of contract, consumer protection violations, and deceit.
Which Renault Vehicles Are Affected?
The investigation is ongoing, but early findings suggest that several diesel models could be affected, including:
Renault Clio
Renault Captur
Renault Espace
Renault Megane
Renault Scenic
If your car was built between 2008 and 2018, it’s worth checking if you’re eligible.
How Much Could You Receive?
The value of your claim will depend on various factors, such as:
When you purchased the vehicle
Whether you bought it using finance
How often and how far you drove the vehicle
While exact figures haven’t yet been confirmed, similar Dieselgate cases have resulted in £1,000s in payouts per vehicle.
