More than 12,000 Scots drivers have now joined a £50 million class action against car makers after the Dieselgate scandal, we can reveal.
A landmark lawsuit involving 8,000 owners of Volkswagen cars, which includes VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda, has now been bolstered by 4,000 claims from Mercedes owners after the authorities in Germany found the firm also installed cheating software in engines that limited readings during emissions tests.
The Mercedes claims, involving vehicles bought between 2008 and 2018, are similar to those against VW that, without the cheat device, the car’s performance will drop and the customer will lose out on resale value.
