Looking at an ex-hire car, 18 months old. 18 months manufacturer warranty remaining. In PH'ers experience, what are the chances of the hire co having serviced the car properly to maintain warranty?

I'm thinking between slim and none....

It's probably only needed one oil change, so I'd say you have a good chance.

Most hire cars are returned at 12 months old / 12,000 miles - it's unusual for them to go beyond that.
What car is it?

This.

Go find another one.

But yes, they will have maintained it no cost spared as it is essentially a money making tool for them not a pretty shiny shiny thing.

Personally I avoid ex hire cars because there are too many idiots like this around.
