Can you lease a used car?

You probably wouldn’t think twice about buying a second hand car.


After all, everyone knows that buying used can be much cheaper than shelling-out for a brand new model.

But did you know that the same principle applies when it comes to leasing cars?

And because we’ve just expanded our USED car lease offering by almost double, with lots of different vehicles available, there’s even more reason to give our nearly-new vehicles a spin.

What is a ‘re-lease’ used vehicle?

What’s the number one thing that people look for when they buy a used car? An impeccable service history that means the driver has maintained the vehicle according to strict manufacturer’s instructions.

And that’s precisely what you get with one of our used lease cars.


These are vehicles that have already been through one leasing cycles - ie, they’ve been with a driver for two, three or four years.

During that time these cars have had to be maintained and serviced to industry standards while drivers have had to abide by ‘fair wear and tear’ guidelines stipulated by the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA).

So, while these cars aren’t brand spanking new, they’ve been treated well.

We source them from our trusted vehicle funders and they enter the used market for another round of leasing - hence the name ‘re-lease’.


What sort of used lease cars are we talking about here?

You’ll find a good selection of used lease cars via Select - and that goes for personal customers and business customers (the latter sees the prices listed without VAT).

At one end of the scale you’ll find affordable hatchbacks beginning at around £190 per month* (at the time of writing).

And at the other end of the scale you’ll find ultra-desirable SUVs like the Volvo XC90 from around £500 per month* (again, at the time of writing).

Like with any new car lease deal, with a used package you still get to choose your annual mileage, contract length, and how much you want to pay up front, while you can also add an optional servicing and maintenance plan.

Your road tax is paid for and used cars also come with breakdown cover included.


Some of the used car lease deals we’ve got right now - a snapshot!

It’s important to say here that our used car lease offering changes rapidly, as vehicles get snapped up by prospective lease customers.

If you see something you like, we’d recommend that you act promptly and make an inquiry.

But at the time of writing (we’re penning this on the 9th May 2024) here’s some of the deals we think illustrates the appeal of leasing used.

It’s a quick snapshot - and these vehicles may have been reserved by the time you read this!


Nissan Leaf (N-Connecta trim level) - £183 per month*


Want to dip your toe into fully-electric motoring without committing to a big purchase or a hefty monthly cost? Leasing an EV like this Nissan Leaf might appeal.

(Best price for leasing a new Nissan Leaf with Select - £209 per month*)


Hyundai Kona Electric (SE Connect) - £203 per month*


As with the Nissan Leaf (see above) a used deal like this could be your ticket to emissions-free motoring. It could also be an affordable company car with a low Benefit in Kind tax burden.

(Best price for leasing a new Hyundai Kona Electric with Select - £285 per month*)


Mercedes-Benz A-Class (AMG Line) - £223 per month*


We can’t actually bring you a new Mercedes-Benz lease at the moment, as the German firm has pulled away from the broker market while doing their own thing.

BUT we can bring you used deals for popular Mercedes-Benz models like this gleaming A-Class in desirable AMG Line trim.

(Best price for leasing a new Mercedes-Benz A-Class with Select - N/A)


Audi A3 Sportback (Technik) - £232 per month*


When it comes to family-sized hatchbacks, there’s not a lot that can hold a candle to the Audi A3. This used deal is for an economical diesel-engined model, too.

(Best price for leasing a new, diesel Audi A3 with Select - £376 per month*)


Volkswagen Golf GTI - £313 per month*


In the market for something a little sportier? You’ll find GTI variants of the VW Golf (and the Polo) in our selection of used cars.

(Best price for leasing a new VW Golf GTI with Select - £408 per month*)


Jaguar I-PACE (SE) - £373 per month*


You’re getting a LOT of car for the money with this used deal for the sleek, fully-electric Jaguar I-PACE. Power of 400 PS and a sumptuous interior, anyone? Yes please.

(Best price for leasing a new Jaguar I-PACE with Select - £732 per month*)
