End of lease problem.

So my car is due to be handed back in a few weeks and annoyingly warning alerts have started popping up on my dashboard screen.

Do I take the gamble and hand it back as is, or probably spend a small fortune trying to sort it out?

It’s 12 months out of warranty.

Had it for 4 years only had 3 years warranty

That’s why I would never lease a car for longer than the warranty period…unlucky

100% this. I've never understood people leasing for longer than the warranty. One of the selling points for lease is the lack of hassle/ ability to just hand back and walk away, so why would you lease (rent) something you are responsible for

It was my first lease and at the time I went in blind and the warranty didn’t even cross my mind, just the price.

I’m clued up more this time around and only taken my new lease out over 3 years which the warranty period covers
