Having visited a site run by a certain Chinese lady about leasing a car it was apparent that part of the deal is to have the vehicle serviced as part of the scheduled servicing.
I then went on an auction house website and looked through a section of used lease vehicles.Several had the same description that there were no stamps or service print out even though they were 3 years old. One that caught my eye was a BMW 318D SE on an 07 plate with 58K on the clock. No service record.
Firstly how could this be taken out on a lease and handed back this way. Does it incur large penalties for the owner?
Secondly, surely the thing hasn't been run for that time and mileage without an oil change at least. Or is this exactly what goes on, and most unrecorded lease vehicles should be avoided like the plague. Or do the lease companies class a "fast fix" type garage oil change as sufficient?
