In reply to my own post
I have just been on the HMRC web chat and gave them this query. At first they stated we could not use the "Approved mileage rate" because the car was not privately owned. However, after then being transferred to a Technical Officer for clarity, I have had it confirmed that my wife's car "is not technically a company car" and that "she can claim the 45p per mile and deduct the 10p she gets from her employer"
Hopefully this will now clear up the approved mileage issue for the other lease car employees that have enquired about this issue on this and numerous other threads!
I'm certainly keeping the transcript of my webchat conversation with the HMRC on this!

I believe that advice is incorrect. The fact the employer is returning it on a P11d makes it a company car.....there is no "technically" about it.

Its because we are required to pay for our own insurance. The approved rates cater for relief on the policy for when the car is used at work.
