Ex rental prefix registrations
Discussion
Hi folks
Wifey has a 2.0 qashqai that’s she’s had for 7 years. It’s being hugely reliable until very recently when it’s thrown us a few issues that have totalled up to 4 figure spend and now it’s thrown An engine light and is running rough she’s decided the time has come for a new one.
She’s quite taken by the Hyundai i30 and we viewed one earlier today, a 1.4T petrol, which she liked.
When I was rooting through the glove box I found an enterprise rent a car ice scraper and when they presented us the paperwork they told us it was ex rental too. This doesn’t bother me but it puts wife off. In this case what bothered me more was the 4 mismatched ditch finders.
Anyway the sales lady told us that all EN and EO prefix cars are likely to be enterprise registered. Is this the case? To be fair they had priced it accordingly.
To aid me with my shortlisting, does anyone know any other preix’s I should watch out for, for other rentals?

Ask to see the V5C and if it is a company then google it.
Most dealers are happy to show the V5C. Those that don't can be avoided. I've had one claim GDPR b

I’ve had the GDPR thing a few times now. Previous keepers details not on the current v5, but I understand they will have the full v5 with ‘current’ keeper details on. Most dealers are happy to show the V5C. Those that don't can be avoided. I've had one claim GDPR b
ky.I think they can hide behind GDPR a bit, but being in that industry myself, I think there’s just a load of fear spread around that companies often take a zero risk approach. If you don’t give it out then you can’t be in breach of GDPR, whereas if you do then you have to figure out all the circumstances in which you can/ can’t etc.

Enterprise are generally the worst rental cars to buy used as they are rarely serviced and if they are it will be 'in house' comprising of an oil change and that's it.
This will automatically void any manufacturers warranty.
Interesting but I think you must be wrong I’m afraid. This one is an ex enterprise car, and it’s being sold with the remaining balance of the Hyundai warranty, by a Hyundai dealer. This will automatically void any manufacturers warranty.
