Can you lease a used Ford?

Yes. Second Life Leasing offers pre-leased Ford cars for personal and business leasing in the UK, with full maintenance and premium replacement tyres included. Explore our current Ford stock, with the exact model, battery and equipment shown for each available car.

You choose a specific car with its own photographs, specification and recorded mileage. Pay an initial rental followed by monthly rentals, then return the car at the agreed end. Applications are subject to approval.

Where does my Ford come from?

Second Life Leasing’s Ford cars come directly from Lex Autolease, part of Lloyds Banking Group, after their first lease. Lex continues to own the car and offers it for another lease. We help you choose and arrange it; your hire agreement is with Lex Autolease.

A first lease with a known history

Lex bought the car from new and managed its first lease, with agreed mileage, servicing and return standards. That gives your next Ford a known leasing history. The individual listing and vehicle information tell you about the particular car you are considering.

Safety checks and preparation

Each car goes through safety checks and preparation for its next driver. It is still a used car, and we will highlight known minor cosmetic imperfections before you decide, so you can picture what will arrive.

What are the current Ford lease prices?

The car you choose, contract term, annual mileage and payment profile all affect the rental. Compare the initial payment as well as the monthly figure when deciding what fits your budget.

Explore our latest pre-leased Ford stock below, with live lease prices. Open a listing for the car’s photographs, specification and available lease options.

Which Ford model and version should you choose?

Mustang Mach-E: choose the battery and drive layout together

The Mustang Mach-E is an electric SUV with a rear hatch, rather than a battery-powered version of the two-door Mustang coupé. It is a useful starting point if you want a five-seat family car with a more sporting shape. Think about rear-passenger access and the luggage you carry as well as the Mustang badge.

The earlier range separates Standard Range from Extended Range batteries, then rear-wheel drive from all-wheel drive. The GT is a higher-performance all-wheel-drive version. Ford’s European technical specification explains the original combinations. For a longer commute, compare the actual battery and your charging opportunities before moving up to a performance version. Battery descriptions and specifications changed during production, so a current Mach-E brochure is not a specification for every earlier car.

Electric Explorer: a more upright everyday SUV

The European electric Explorer is a separate choice from the Mach-E and from older petrol or hybrid vehicles carrying the Explorer name. Compare it if you prefer a more upright SUV body. Its proportions, rear seating and loading arrangement are worth trying with your usual passengers rather than treating it as another trim level of the Mach-E.

Ford’s March 2024 Explorer launch announcement describes a movable SYNC Move centre screen and a 17-litre MegaConsole storage area. Those are useful details if phones, bags and other small items usually fill your car’s centre console. Rear-wheel-drive and AWD versions also need separate battery and charging comparisons. Select and Premium describe different equipment choices; check any Driver Assist Pack on the particular car.

Electric Capri: compare the roofline and loading space

The modern electric Capri brings a more sloping SUV silhouette than the Explorer. It is a five-door electric family car, so make the choice around the present vehicle’s seating and boot rather than expectations created by the historic Capri name.

The October 2024 Capri announcement describes its movable centre screen and large centre storage. Compare rear headroom, the tailgate opening and the boot floor with the Explorer when deciding which body works for your household. For a Premium AWD car, read the AWD battery specification and confirm the fitted assistance and comfort equipment. Premium is an equipment grade, not a guarantee that every option shown in a launch photograph is fitted.

Make the comparison around a normal week

The Mach-E, Explorer and Capri give you three different bodies and cabin layouts. Put the driver’s seat where you need it, check the space behind it and think about loading the car in your usual parking spot. Then compare battery, charging capability and drive layout for the actual version. This is more useful than choosing solely by a maximum range figure for another car in the range.

Choose the equipment you will use

For Ford, compare the screen and everyday controls as well as trim names. Check the exact parking-camera and assistance equipment, wheel size, seat adjustment and any fitted panoramic roof. Ask which connected services are included and which require an account or subscription; a feature name in another model’s brochure is not confirmation for your car.

Equipment and charging specifications can change during production. Confirm the manufacturer’s specification, fitted options, cables and any connected-service subscriptions for the actual car before ordering; registration year and trim name alone do not tell the whole story.

What comes with my Ford lease?

Second Life Leasing’s full maintenance package brings the routine upkeep into your lease, helping you plan for more than the rental alone.

Servicing, maintenance and premium replacement tyres

Servicing, maintenance, replacement tyres and MOT when required are included. Replacement tyres are premium brands, with mobile fitting where possible. Collection and return for servicing and maintenance are included, subject to limitations.

Breakdown cover and road fund tax

Breakdown cover includes a replacement vehicle for up to 48 hours if needed, plus cover for driving abroad. Check the overseas arrangements with Lex before travelling. Road fund tax is included for the duration of your lease.

Online support

The Lex Vehicle Leasing app gives you a way to book servicing, request support and find your contract documents. Use the lease company’s support route for your maintained agreement.

What do I pay for separately?

Allow for insurance and fuel or charging. Your quote and agreement also explain applicable fees and contract charges, including excess mileage and damage charges. Included maintenance helps with budgeting without making every motoring cost fixed.

What happens if my Ford develops a fault?

Contact Lex Autolease through its support process. Under Second Life Leasing’s full maintenance offering, Lex arranges covered repairs in line with your agreement, so you have a clear route to getting help.

Does the manufacturer’s warranty matter?

Where a manufacturer’s warranty applies, Lex handles the claim behind the scenes. Your repair support follows the maintained lease agreement; you do not need to work out the remaining manufacturer’s warranty before reporting a problem.

What about an electric Ford’s battery?

Our pre-leased battery-electric Ford cars come with a guaranteed minimum battery condition of 85% at delivery. That is a delivery baseline, rather than a guarantee throughout the lease or a promise of a particular driving range.

Can I choose the term and mileage?

Yes. Each car’s listing shows its available contract terms, annual mileage allowances and payment profiles. Choose mileage around your normal year, including commuting, business journeys and holidays.

The payment profile determines how much you pay initially and in subsequent rentals. Choose a term you are comfortable committing to, and review the agreement’s provisions and charges for changing or ending it early.

Personal or business leasing?

You can apply for Personal Contract Hire in your own name or Business Contract Hire for your business. The live examples in this guide are personal rentals including VAT, even if you are browsing in Business mode. Select Business to explore business prices on the stock pages, or ask us for the appropriate quote.

Why choose a pre-leased Ford?

More of the car you want within your budget

Ford’s electric SUVs offer different seating, cabin-storage and body-style choices, so you can choose around the way your household travels. A pre-leased Ford has already been through its initial depreciation. Leasing it at its used value can mean a lower rental than leasing new, with the individual quote showing what that means for your chosen car. You can put the rental alongside your other regular costs and decide whether the whole package works for you.

Giving an electric Ford another lease of life

Choosing a pre-leased battery-electric Ford keeps an existing car and its battery in use. Battery-electric Ford cars produce no tailpipe emissions while driving. Manufacturing and charging electricity still contribute to their overall footprint.

UK government guidance explains that a typical electric car has lower lifetime greenhouse-gas emissions than an equivalent petrol car, including battery production and disposal. That is general EV evidence, rather than a measured saving for an individual used Ford.

A scheduled return without finding a buyer

At the agreed end, return the Ford subject to the mileage and condition terms. Lex owns and resells it and takes the resale-value risk. You can choose your next car without arranging a private sale or negotiating a part-exchange.

How do I arrange my Ford lease?

  1. Tell us which Ford interests you. We will help you choose from the available cars and confirm the details that matter to you.
  2. Review your quote. We will place a temporary reservation while you look through the figures.
  3. Complete the paperwork online. We will guide you through the credit application and your agreement with Lex Autolease.
  4. Take delivery. Once your application is approved and the car is ready, we will arrange included mainland UK delivery to your door.
