Why make a Claim?
Land Rover diesel drivers could be owed thousands in compensation for misleading emissions information — even if they no longer own the vehicle.
Between October 2014 and June 2023, more than 500,000 Land Rover SUVs were sold or leased in the UK, including new and used vehicles. Any driver who purchased, financed or leased a Land Rover diesel model during this time may be eligible to join the legal action — even if the vehicle has since been sold, traded in, or written off.
This creates a potential pool of over 1 million eligible UK claimants.
No Risk and No Cost
The legal action is structured as a group claim against Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).
Claimants pay nothing
upfront,
and the legal team acts on a no-win, no-fee basis. If the claim succeeds, legal fees are deducted from the
compensation awarded — so there is no financial risk to take part.
Top Legal Experts
Claimants are represented by an experienced London-based group litigation team with a proven record of acting against major global automotive brands. Their involvement increases the likelihood of obtaining compensation for UK drivers who were affected by inaccurate diesel emissions information.
What Have Land Rover Done Wrong?
Legal allegations suggest that Land Rover diesel vehicles were marketed and sold using emissions and fuel-economy figures that did not reflect real-world driving conditions.
Tests carried out in controlled environments often produced results that drivers could not replicate on UK roads. In real driving situations — with stop-start traffic, colder temperatures, varied terrain and motorway speeds — fuel economy and emissions performance are reported to have been significantly different from the figures used during sales.
The case argues that this has:
- Lowered the resale value of affected diesel vehicles
- Increased running costs for drivers
- Reduced trust in published emissions and fuel-economy information
- Affected both private drivers and business users
Which Land Rover Drivers Can Join the Claim?
You may qualify if you owned, financed or leased a diesel Land Rover between October 2014 and June 2023, including:
- Land Rover Discovery
- Land Rover Discovery Sport
- Land Rover Defender
- Land Rover Range Rover (all trims)
- Land Rover Range Rover Sport
- Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
- Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Both personal and commercial use vehicles can be eligible.
It does not matter if:
- The vehicle was new or used
- It was purchased outright, leased or financed
- You no longer own the vehicle
- It has been modified or written off
Why this matters to Land Rover drivers
Drivers trusted the published emissions and fuel-economy figures when making a purchase. Many selected a Land Rover because of its reputation for fuel economy, wheel-drive capability, executive comfort and long-distance reliability.
However, consumer reports suggest that real-world fuel usage and emissions results were not consistent with the figures used in official material.
This has affected features across the modern Land Rover range, including:
- Electronic Air Suspension, Terrain Response, Adaptive Dynamics, Electric Motor Assist
- Climate Control, Third Row Seating, Rear Seat Comfort Packages
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Rear Traffic Monitor, Interactive Driver Display
- Wheel Fitment & Gross Vehicle Weight Differences
- Engine Options advertised for fuel efficiency
When real-world figures differ from advertised results, drivers lose confidence — and many will have paid more for fuel than expected or experienced a lower trade-in valuation.
