What’s the Issue?
Many Jaguar and Land Rover diesel vehicles manufactured between 2015 and 2023 were fitted with defective Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems that fail to regenerate properly, leading to clogging, engine stress, and eventual “limp mode” or total failure.
Affected models include:
- Land Rover Discovery, Discovery Sport, Velar, Range Rover, Evoque, Range Rover Sport
- Jaguar XE, XF, E‑Pace, F‑Pace
Consequences for Owners
Reduced performance, higher fuel consumption, potential engine damage and safety risks on the road.
Increased servicing costs or full DPF replacement at owner’s expense.
Lower resale value due to persistent mechanical issues.
Legal Status and Potential Compensation
A Group Litigation Order (GLO) was granted in November 2024, allowing thousands of owners to pursue a collective claim.
Currently over 42,000 claimants signed up; total estimated claim value is around £3 billion.
Identified compensation range: £3,000 to £16,000 per vehicle, depending on purchase/lease details and losses suffered.

You can still participate even if you have since sold or returned the vehicle, provided you can show prior ownership or lease.

Precedent – The UK’s growing use of group litigation orders to enforce corporate responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this related to Dieselgate?
No. This is a structural DPF failure issue specific to JLR diesel models (distinct from emissions cheating scandals).
Can I claim even if I sold the vehicle?
Yes, if you can prove past ownership or lease.
How much could I receive?
Typically £3,000–£16,000 depending on circumstances (purchase price, repair and depreciation costs).
