Lease return reports.

Returning a leased vehicle regularly leads to argument about „damage beyond normal wear and tear“. With a neutral condition assessment before the return, you know exactly what to expect.

The problem

Leasing companies are inclined to calculate against you.

At return, leasing companies invoice considerable sums for diminished value – often inflated, or for items that ought properly to count as ordinary wear. Because the assessment is carried out by the leasing company's own appraiser, the commercial interest sits clearly on their side.

With a neutral condition assessment before the return you know exactly where you stand: which damage should still be put right cheaply at an independent workshop, and which of the leasing company's demands are unfounded. Our report puts the arguments in your hands – and at return that often saves several hundred euros.

The timing is what matters: anyone who only reacts after the return is negotiating from the weaker position. Anyone who knows beforehand what is coming decides for themselves what is worth repairing.

A neutral assessment

We assess independently of the leasing company – to the same professional standards, but with no commercial interest of our own.

Checking the return record

Where a demand has already been made, we examine each item individually and object wherever it does not hold.

Costs known in advance

You find out before the return date what deductions are realistically to be expected – no surprise in the final account.

Points of dispute

What people argue about at return.

These items appear in return records again and again – and are particularly often set too high. The line between ordinary wear and compensable damage is in many cases a matter of interpretation – and that is exactly where our assessment applies.

  • Paint scratches and stone chips on the front end and door edges
  • Kerb damage to wheels and damaged wheel trims
  • Tread depth, tyre age and mismatched tyres
  • Small dents in doors, wings and the roof
  • Stains, scratches or odours in the interior
  • Missing keys, document wallet or accessories
  • Undocumented earlier damage from before your period of use
2–4weeks before return is ideal
How it works

How the return assessment runs.

The earlier we look, the more room for manoeuvre you keep. Two to four weeks before the date is ideal.

01

An appointment before return

We inspect your vehicle two to four weeks before the official return date.

02

The condition assessment

Paint, bodywork, wheels, interior and mechanical condition are properly examined and assessed.

03

Our recommendation

You find out which damage is worth repairing cheaply beforehand and which is not.

04

Support at the return

Where the leasing company's demands are excessive, we stand behind you with our report.

An invoice already?

Already received a bill? We can still help.

If you have already returned the vehicle and consider the return record or the additional demand excessive, the case is not lost. Send us the record – we examine each item on its technical merits.

Where demands do not hold, we produce a reasoned counter-statement with our own report as evidence. You can put that to the leasing company directly or hand it to your solicitor.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

When should I have the report done?
Ideally two to four weeks before the official return date. That leaves enough time to commission worthwhile repairs cheaply yourself, rather than paying the leasing company's higher rates.
What counts as normal wear and tear?
Minor paint scratches, light wheel damage or tread worn in line with the vehicle's age normally count as ordinary wear. The boundaries are frequently a matter of interpretation, however – and that is exactly where our neutral assessment comes in.
What do I do if I think the return record is excessive?
Send us the record. We examine each item on its technical merits and, where necessary, produce a reasoned counter-statement with our own report as evidence.
What does a lease return report cost?
The fee depends on the type of vehicle and the scope. Call us – you receive a clear fixed price in advance, with no hidden extras.
Free & without obligation
