Volkswagen is extending its car scrappage scheme into 2018.
The car manufacturer will continue to slash the price of its best-selling, most popular and low emissions cars in the scheme until April 2nd 2018.
VW was one of many car makers including Ford, BMW and Mercedes that introduced a scrappage scheme discount, to encourage drivers to drive a low emissions car.
Since launching the scheme in September almost 5,000 older diesel vehicles that comply with pre-Euro 5 emissions legislation, and registered before 2010, have been removed from the road.

Drivers can land themselves discounts off the price of a new low-emissions are in the UK of up to £8,500.
The biggest discounts coming from VW are £6,000 for the Sharan and Passat GTE, but the latter also benefits from the PHEV government grant.
Similarly the e-Golf, which has a scrappage upgrade saving of £4,000, will also benefit from a Government grant of £4,500, taking the total discount to £8,500.
Drivers can cash in on this deal if the new car is ordered by 2 April 2018, and delivered by 30 June 2018.
You must have owned the car for at least six months to be able to qualify for the discount and it must be manufactured before 2010 and have an emissions standard pre-Euro 5.
