Volkswagen are giving new car buyers the opportunity to trade in old diesel cars, whatever the make and get up to £6,000 towards brand-new Volkswagen models with their Volkswagen Diesel Scrappage Scheme.

Scrappage Upgrade Savings are available on many of Volkswagen’s latest Euro 6 petrol and diesel cars: plus, class-leading ranges including plug-in hybrids and full electric cars.

The Volkswagen Scrappage Scheme 2017 offers potential savings from £1,800 to £6,000 for any make or model diesel car registered in the UK on or before the 31st of December 2009, featuring a Euro 1-4 emission standard engine. Also, it’s worth noting your current car doesn’t have to be a Volkswagen, but the scrappage upgrade saving is not available in conjunction with any existing offers across the Volkswagen range.
