What MOT and Warranty Cover Comes With a Rent2Buy Van?

Every prepared Rent2Buy van comes with:

• A new 12-month MOT

• A service

• A valet

• Comprehensive warranty cover for three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first

These are part of the vehicle-preparation process before collection.

Does the Van Come With a New MOT?

Yes.

The vehicle is supplied with a new 12-month MOT before collection.

This confirms that the van met the required MOT test standard at the time it was tested.

An MOT is not a guarantee that no mechanical fault will develop later. It is a roadworthiness test carried out at a particular point in time.

Is the Van Serviced Before Collection?

Yes.

The selected Rent2Buy van goes through the workshop and receives a service before collection.

The exact work carried out depends on the vehicle and its preparation requirements.

Customers should continue to maintain and service the van correctly during the agreement.

Rent2Buy operates on a self-maintenance basis, so ongoing servicing and maintenance remain the customer’s responsibility.

Is the Van Valeted?

Yes.

The vehicle is valeted as part of the preparation process before handover.

How Long Does the Warranty Last?

The comprehensive warranty cover lasts for:

Three months or 3,000 miles, whichever occurs first

That means the warranty ends when either limit is reached.

Example 1

If you drive 3,000 miles within six weeks, the mileage limit is reached before the three-month date.

Example 2

If you drive only 1,500 miles during the first three months, the time limit is reached first.

What Does “Comprehensive Warranty” Mean?

The warranty provides cover subject to the written warranty terms.

The exact items covered, exclusions, claim process and limits are set out in the warranty documentation.

Do not assume that every fault, wear item or maintenance issue is automatically covered.

Always read the warranty terms carefully.

What Is Usually Not the Same as a Warranty Claim?

A warranty is not the same as routine servicing or maintenance.

Items related to normal use, servicing or wear may be treated differently under the warranty terms.

Examples can include:

• Routine servicing

• Tyres

• Brake wear

• Wiper blades

• Bulbs

• Damage

• Neglect

• Problems caused by continued driving after a warning appears

The written warranty terms determine the actual position.

What Should You Do If a Fault Develops?

Contact Rent2Buy Vans promptly.

Do not continue driving where:

• A warning light appears

• The vehicle overheats

• There is a serious noise

• Braking or steering feels unsafe

• Continuing to drive could cause more damage

Explain:

• The vehicle registration

• The mileage

• The date the issue started

• The symptoms

• Whether warning lights are showing

Follow the claim or inspection instructions provided.

Does the Warranty Replace Servicing?

No.

The customer must still maintain the van properly.

Failing to service or maintain the vehicle could affect warranty consideration.

Keep:

• Service invoices

• Repair receipts

• MOT documents

• Mileage records

• Workshop reports

Is Vehicle Tax Included?

Yes.

Rent2Buy Vans pays the vehicle tax for the duration of the Rent2Buy term.

This is separate from the MOT and warranty cover.

What Happens After the Warranty Ends?

After three months or 3,000 miles, whichever occurs first, the initial warranty period has ended.

The customer remains responsible for ongoing maintenance and repairs, subject to the agreement and any other applicable written terms.

Budget for:

• Servicing

• Tyres

• Brakes

• Repairs

• Wear items

• Breakdown cover
