The only extant court case has long since closed to new claimants. Nobody knows whether they will win.

Other organisations may well be offering the opportunity to be part of other claim groups. Nobody knows whether they will get anywhere, even if the main claim wins.

None of Mojo's claimed losses are even remotely tangible, and they are certainly not legally enforceable in any normal circumstance. There is no evidence that VAG breached the rules on the applicable European tests. They were found to have breached the (very different, and far stricter) US tests, but they're not relevant to UK claims.

The German courts do not agree with you

Did you actually bother to read that?
The German courts (who have no jurisdiction in the UK) amended a previous ruling, in which a court had ordered VW to buy a vehicle back, but allowed for depreciation - to disregard the depreciation.

If they didn't breach any  European rules- as you claim- then why are they having to buy back the car? 

It sounds like punitive damages to me based on what, I don't know as I haven't read the full judgement. Whatever rules/laws are in place the courts (of any country) can interpret them as they see fit.

The loss, for those wondering, is loss of value, possible increased maintenance costs (extra urea used etc.) and increased health costs due to excessive dangerous emissions.

In that case anyone who has breathed the air in the country that a VAG vehicle has been driven can bring a claim?

It will be hard to show what amount they contributed to health damage, that's the problem. If you own one it's different.

I'd wait to see what the outcome of the current legal action is, if they win you can use that to make your own claims or join one of the other ones that will inevitably start.
