      Which? has found that almost 80% of diesels it has driven exceed the official emissions limits when put through real-world tests.

      The consumer advice service has tested 61 diesel cars since the start of 2017, and found that 47 (77%) of them exceed the Euro 6 NOx emissions limit of 0.08 g/km – despite having a Euro 6 certified engine.

        I’ve never been a big fan of “Which” or their testing because they put their results behind a paywall and all this proves is maybe the tester’s, whoever they may be, had a lot of lead in their right boot.

        I wonder if they use the same testers that do the tumble dryer’s, washing machines, coffee makers, etc.

          Mercedes OM654 which they use in the E class has a reputation for being very clean so not surprised by these figures, but, I think the decline of diesel will continue apace.
