THE BVRLA has launched an updated version of its Fair Wear and Tear Standard for Cars.

The updated guide, says the BVRLA, reflects the latest technologies and driver habits. It has been compiled with input from BVRLA members, auction houses and common issues handled through the association’s Alternative Dispute Resolution service.

Several changes have been introduced regarding electric vehicles, including the requirement for them to have a full charge at the point of collection.

Other updates give greater clarity on tyre and wheel condition, in-vehicle documentation, and the presence of charging cables where appropriate.

Our Fair Wear and Tear Standard is the essential textbook and primer for anyone involved in vehicle returns. The new Standard for cars sets out in black and white what is expected of a driver from the moment they accept delivery of the vehicle.

The industry-wide adoption of the BVRLA Standard gives drivers, fleet operators and vehicle providers consistency, meaning that any end-of-contract charges relating to vehicle condition are fair, transparent, and indisputable.
