Buying a popular-on-lease car - when do leases end?

[cj2013]

As above really, I'm potentially looking at buying a car that appears to be extremely popular with business/BIK leases.

I'm conscious that a large number will no doubt end their leases at some point, meaning the used values will potentially drop.


Does there tend to be a specific date when leases 'end', and a number of cars hit the auction rooms/car supermarkets?

Not really, will vary company to company.

Conventional wisdom would suggest end of financial year, as well as new reg dates March/September would be when turnover is highest.

Fair enough - I guess that would suggest we've just come out of one?

I saw Jan 2019 referenced on another thread (but can't remember which), so thought there might be an informal one!
