Hi,

There's a difference between a Rental Car and a Lease Car. A rental usually has no longterm driver, many different drivers with no investment in the car.

A lease car, on the other hand typically has one driver, and that driver will be penalized at the end of the lease period for anything beyond normal wear and tear. As such, many Lease drivers take better care of the car than many drivers who own their cars because they don't want to get socked with a multi-thousand dollar bill at the end of the lease period.

Do a PPI and if it comes back clean, you're likely OK. I would not ever buy a Rental car though, these are the ones which are typically abused by irresponsible people...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
