Paying £450 a month for a Peugeot EV I can't drive
A case discussed in the UK centers on a Peugeot EV lease contract and the dispute over whether the vehicle is truly usable. The letter-writer says they pay £450 a month for the car but that it stopped working within a fortnight of delivery, failing to charge and developing additional faults including a boot that would not open, a driver’s window operating on its own, and a remote locking issue. After Peugeot Assist, operated by the RAC, collected the car for warranty repairs, it allegedly never reached the dealer, with the RAC blaming the dealer’s availability. The lease provider Leasys refused to rescind, arguing the car is driveable and that another repair is planned, leaving the owner without wheels for more than two months. The piece cites Consumer Rights Act 2015 and points the case toward the Financial Ombudsman Service.
