Millions of drivers who owned vehicles from brands BMW, Vauxhall, and Land Rover might be eligible to receive substantial payments up to $12,600, due to a controversy involving gas emissions in 2015.

Several car manufacturers were caught installing illegal emissions manipulation software in diesel cars, known as ‘dieselgate’, making the vehicles appear to emit fewer harmful gases during tests than they actually emit under normal day-to-day conditions.

This led to the misleading sale of vehicles to consumers, affecting models manufactured between September 2009 and July 2016.

Regardless of how the vehicle was acquired – whether through direct purchase, financing, or from a third-party dealer – drivers can check their eligibility for compensation through a specific website, by simply entering the car’s registration number and answering some questions.

According to LadBible, the website also suggests that drivers could receive up to 75% of the car’s original value as compensation.
