First time leaser so apologies for my ignorance.

I'm currently on a 2 year lease of a Seat Leon, the vehicle is due back in late July this year. I'm on a annual mileage allowance of 10k.

The service schedule is on the 2 years or 20k miles mark, so I'm yet to service it.

I'm predicting to do around 19,000 of my 20,000 allowance and not hit that 20k servicing mark.

If I hand the vehicle back without hitting that 20k will i get away with not servicing it, and thus saving some money?

OR , will Seat ensure it goes beyond the 2 year period so I have to get it serviced literally before it's collected?

The whole leasing experience has been fantastic however I've been dreading this end of contract and handover period. If anybody has experience with this, any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

MR2 Steve

SEAT don't care as long as it's not overdue when you send it back. I sent one back with 8 days to go until the service and it was fine. It's common to arrange an early collection to avoid a service.

If it's the same as the VW long life service it's Up to 2 years or 20k but is variable (monitored by the ECU) so could well need a service before then.

My leased Cupra was set for 10k and 1 year. BCA checked my service book not just that the display wasn't showing..
