In Review; BMW 2 Series Coupe 218i M Sport (Auto)

20 March 2018 by phil

A big thank you to our local personal lease customer from Warrington (Cheshire), for coming to visit the CarLease UK team to collect their new BMW 2 Series.

As an existing customer (this was their 5th vehicle over a 9 year period), they arranged collection of their existing car with us and had the new one delivered to our premises so that everything could be arranged on the weekend for convenience. In terms of arranging collection of your lease vehicle, you should receive notification from us (or your credit broker/dealer) about 6 months before the vehicle is due to be returned. This should provide you with ample opportunity to review the vehicle. In particular we would draw our customer’s attention to:

· Servicing/Maintenance – whether or not the vehicle has been covered with a funder-maintenance package, please ensure that the vehicle has been serviced and maintained the vehicle correctly before it is returned. Also ensure that the service book has been stamped appropriate or, in the case of electronic updates, ensure you have copy invoices for servicing;

· Tyres – please ensure that the tyres have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and that the vehicle will be returned with the tyres in the proper condition. If the tread falls below 2mm, the tyres must be changed. Please ensure you use similar tyres as to what was provided with the vehicle i.e. if the vehicle arrives with premium tyres do not use budget tyres; and

· MOT – depending upon the length of your agreement, please ensure that the vehicle has been issued with an MOT certificate. When a vehicle reaches its third anniversary it must receive an MOT (this is a legal obligation). The collection agent will refuse to collect the vehicle if an MOT is outstanding. Ensure you retain a copy of the certificate for your records.

In addition, the BVRLA (British Vehicles Rental and Leasing Association) has made available to the public a fair wear and tear policy which should be sent to you in conjunction with arranging the collection of the car. Essentially, the fair wear and tear is utilised to cover the deterioration which occurs during a vehicle’s lifetime, as opposed to negligent or inappropriate actions which result in vehicle damage.

There are 3 guides which are available for your review which include a) cars b) LCVs c) HGVs. The guides are extremely useful as they provide a good synopsis of the common issues which arise with cars for example stone chips or small dents.

Use this information to work out whether the condition falls outside of the fair wear and tear, as you either need to resolve this before the vehicle is returned or you will have to pay the leasing company after collection for their remediation. For local customers, we are more than happy to receive you on premises to assist in the resolution of the vehicle.
