End of lease question, MOT etc

[piperdelux]

Hi all,

Apologies as I'm sure this has been asked previously, can't find any thread though.

My current VWFS lease ends in march 2020, car will be 3 years old at that point, and due MOT and service.

Main dealer has offered to do both for £199 which is decent - however, would I be correct in thinking that any charges relating to MOT I would also be responsible for? I'm sure that would be the case, which would make an early termination more appealing, even with having to stump up 50% of remaining payments.

Thanks as always for any help.

surely a 3 year old VW (that presumably has been serviced/warrantied by VW) will have no problem getting a MOT?

I would like to think not, but the reason for my question is IF it throws up issues, I will have to pay for them prior to its return? The car is great and I'm sure it would sail through, but any potential repairs would be costly I would think.

Wife is in exactly the same position. Her car will be going back a few weeks early to avoid service and Mot

Thanks for the reply, was it 50% of o/s payments to cancel early?

She hasn’t arranged hand back yet however I did the same with my A4 in the summer and it was 50% of the remaining
Payments.

Ideal thanks pal, much appreciated.

Our golf gti just went back 10 days prior to MOT. It wasn’t worth dragging it out IMO. A comment was made on the leaking front shocks on a service a few months prior. I’m pretty sure this is an MOT failure and something i would have to pay for.

Exactly the sort of thing i would be dreading coming up on the MOT! Will send back early, thanks for reply...
