A diesel scrappage scheme is a monetary incentive offered by big vehicle manufacturers, aimed at encouraging you to scrap your diesel car with them to reduce environmental impact. The following manufacturers have all been known to offer diesel scrappage schemes previously: Ford, Hyundai, Nissan, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Citroen, Dacia, Fiat, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, MG, Renault, Peugeot, Seat, Skoda, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Suzuki and Toyota.
With between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths a year in the UK attributed to air pollution, it’s no surprise companies are creating incentives to reduce the impact their products create, particularly with diesel cars being one of the biggest contributors. However, there’s a catch: unlike our scheme, manufacturers offer monetary incentives for your older, high-emission model to be used against a newer, lower-emission model — and which car you can put the down payment towards is down to manufacturer choice, sometimes limited to just five or ten models.
Diesel scrappage schemes have been questioned over how much positive environmental impact they actually make. Some manufacturers don’t guarantee to scrap your car and resell it instead, meaning it’s back on the road with no emissions reduced. The schemes are also not government sponsored, and have been raised as a tactic to simply improve car sales.
