Grounds for terminating lease after 1 month
Discussion
My brother has recently had his Audi A4 delivered after a lengthy wait and has only done 500 miles in it.
Unfortunately he has been ill after having several fits which is currently being diagnosed. It’s looking highly likely that he will not be allowed to drive for at least a year.
Has anyone been in a similar situation whereby medically you can no longer drive at such an early time into a lease? He has a two year deal. Obviously he will speak to the broker when he is back on his feet but I wanted to try and find out some information for him until then.

Firstly thanks all for the kind words.
He will have a close look at the t&c’s in the contract to see if there is anything in there around ‘frustration’, whereby either party can’t uphold the contract for neither fault of their own.
Someone else taking on the lease is an option from what I can gather, however would have to look into it a little further to confirm if this can be done and if there are any stipulations.
I believe he has the basic model A4 1.4 TFSI in manual, 8k per annum, think he said he’s paying just over £180 month.

I agree, although my brother is an academic who has since done thorough research on both the contract he has signed and the legality in general around this subject and is very confident he would have a strong case if he took it to court.
The email he has prepared in a worse case scenario is enough for me to agree with!
It doesn’t look like it will go to that thankfully but it is perhaps an example for others that there may be genuine circumstances that can be at least looked into on an individual basis.
