I have looked at my old contract when I was able to extend our lease, and compared it with our new lease signed 2025 They are both the same. So how can they not agree a lease extension. As per contract signed.
Our last contract allowed for an extension to 5 years, but they still refused it as the rules had changed. I took them to task over it and they backed down. New contracts still allow for extensions but I think that’s an oversight and I would still expect a battle unless the car has done under 20,000 miles in 3 years or has adaptations.
The rules might have changed, but a contract is a contract.
a change in the rules, does not change the signed contract.
I do not understand the legal side of things, but the wording in our contract implies that I can extend for a further 24 months,
nothing in there about. Mileage or adaptations.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone was to take legal advice, and challenge this.
