Leasing Advice please about disclosing pre reg before delivery.

A few months ago I placed an order for a car i liked ,  and a good deal on a 36 month lease on as they described In Stock at port delivery.

My  car is due for delivery on Thursday by the suppling dealer. 


I have to say  that so far the leasing broker i have used has been exceptional.  

They have kept me updated all the way through.

But  and its a big but   ive been provided the Registration today and ive  checked it was registered on the 1st of September. 

Now whilst I have no issue with the car or the finance to this point.  I wasn't told it was pre registered,   should I have been?

In fact most of my communication with the broker this week has been arranging delivery and them getting confirmation of the Reg. 

I dont know if this should be an issue for me or not.


I was expecting a new car so this car is already almost months old and will need me to MOT  it before its return as it will be month 38 not month 35  when its returned. 

Will I need to service it 3 months early?


Should I have been told at the very start this was pre registered?  Is my question and should I be making the broker aware?

What would be the advice ?  

I just want to check really if I should have been told it was pre reg or not ,  and if its going to have any impact on me.

Why did you wait a “few” months before the car was delivered to you ?

The car was new at point of order and will still be new when you get it. Enjoy leasing “your” new car.

Thanks ,  thats my point , if I ordered my new car on the 8th September ,  and the one being provided was registered on the 1st September .

My question is should this have been  delivered earlier ?  And should I have been made aware it was already registered.

Ive spent the last 5 weeks  hiring a car for work because mine wasnt ready,  when in fact it was ready all along.  That's what's frustrating me .

A few questions to get out the way: 
1) I'm assuming the car has no previous keepers, ie the lease firm is the first keeper.
2) The car has only delivery mileage on it

With that being said, it seems they are horrendously inefficient if they have a car at the port (in stock) but it takes over 2 months to get it to a customer. Did you ask for it to commence on 13th Nov or is the 2+ months delay, their admin?
