No claim of this kind has ever, nor will ever be successful, regardless of whether the car is bought or leased
Why? Because no user of the car can demonstrate a “loss” in legal terms. Quite the opposite – VW cars which have had the emissions cheat fixed, are known to be less economical. Do you think VW and Mercedes will sue all their customers because they’re getting better MPG?
Resale value won’t make any difference to these bogus claims because diesel model second hand values gave been on the slide for a few years now, and is more down to less demand than anything to do with emissions.
