A big negative in my experience is that at the end of the lease the leasing company goes over the vehicle very thoroughly looking for scratches and dents and penalises heavily for them.
I wouldn't consider leasing/contract hire for a work vehicle (I now prefer to run a secondhand hilux) but would consider it for a private vehicle.

Find one thats a registered Charity, otherwise they are charging you more than it would cost you without their help.
Mine is on lease purchase. At the end of the term I have to sell it
It’s condition will be reflected in the sale return

I'm just no good at keeping work pickups in decent condition and have decided that I don't deserve a new one for a daily work vehicle, where it is 90% off road.

Not being able to destroy the farm pickup takes all the fun out of having one

I'm considering long and hard about getting a brand new Isuzu extra cab on finance.
Just a boggy basic one is only £18k+ vat with a 5 year warranty.
I'm just about to rebuild my van engine for the second time in 6 months.

I was very unimpressed with the efforts of Top Gear a few years ago at trying (and largely failing) to destroy a Hilux. Something that I have a much better track record at achieving.
The last one, I found out, didn't like going airborne.
Been on to them this morning ,pushing Ford wild track £297 a month a navara was £70 more a month. Been to have a look around a few dealerships today will decide next week which way to go

Having leased 5 cars and 5 pickups over the last 12 years we have never once been shafted when handing them back. Excess charges for mileage are common of course but that’s about it. Yes they check them over as you’d expect but fair wear is allowed. On cars you’ll have fair wear around a boot area for example where bags are lifted in and out, so scratches are fine. Pickups are even more lax and we’ve handed back some in poor states in the loadbeds and interiors. On one pickup which was £205/month plus vat for a 3 yr lease it had a £400 charge for 4 dents. £400 was nothing seeing that it had covered 50k miles and had a total lease cost of £7380 over the 3 years we had it. Don’t believe all the stories about big charges after leasing. It’s not what we’ve found with various lease companies such as Arval,

Personally I would always go for a lease where NO balloon payment is required but only a peppercorn secondary lease which can be “got around”.
