Beyond Wear and Tear: A Fleet Manager’s Guide to Mechanical Misuse
When a vehicle develops a mechanical fault, the first question is rarely technical. It is usually, what caused it. In fleet, leasing and warranty environments, that uncertainty can create friction, delay repair authorisations, and lead to avoidable cost.
This whitepaper brings clarity to those grey areas. It explains the difference between fair wear and tear and mechanical misuse, outlines common patterns that point to each, and walks through real operational scenarios where liability is unclear. It also shares practical escalation triggers and process improvements, like structured driver reporting, cleaner handovers, and consistent rules for when additional technical input is needed.
