Have we reached peak leasing?

Return car month or so early & you don’t require the second service wink
Or even better... ensure the first service is a few weeks late so it’s not overdue when u hand back the keys.
that's next level leasing. Top tip.
This is the way to maximise the value or cost to you of the lease. It doesn't quite work if you are doing higher mileages. Also depending on car you can avoid tyres. For example I am on an 8k/yr deal but at 20k at 16 months. My service is 2 yrs or 20k but serviced a month late. Tyres are at 3-4mm on front and won't last to end of lease so I will swap the front to the rear which have 6mm. Tyre swap won't work for all cars of course.
