A straightforward way to understand the expectations at the end of your lease.
This interactive guide gives you a clear understanding of the BVRLA’s Fair Wear and Tear standards, helping you check your vehicle’s condition before it’s returned. Whether it’s a car or van, you’ll quickly see what’s considered normal ageing and what could lead to end-of-contract charges.
Browse the categories, compare your vehicle to the examples, and keep a checklist as you go. If anything needs repairing, tackling it before the vehicle is collected could save you money later on.
Knowing the standards ahead of time gives you a chance to sort minor issues and head into collection day with confidence. It keeps the process clear, fair and transparent.
The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association is the UK’s independent body for the rental and leasing industry. They set the national standards for fairness, consistency and transparency, including the Fair Wear and Tear guidelines used by our funders. Their job is to make sure customers and companies follow the same clear rules, so end-of-lease inspections are carried out fairly and without confusion.
If anything in the guide leaves you unsure, or you want clarification on a specific mark, dent or area of wear, reach out to us. We’re happy to answer questions, talk you through the standards, or look at photos if you’d like a second opinion.
