Fair wear and tear occurs when normal usage causes acceptable deterioration to a vehicle. However, fair wear and tear is different to damage, which for example, could be caused by a collision or harsh treatment.
The BVRLA’s Fair Wear and Tear Guide is an industry-wide accepted standard, which outlines the condition in which the vehicle must be returned at the end of lease agreement, in order to avoid end of lease damage charges.
The guide’s standards apply to several aspects of the vehicle. The interactive presentations below detail the Fair Wear and Tear standards and how they apply.
