A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What counts as normal wear and tear on a lease?
Normal wear and tear includes minor surface scratches that do not penetrate the clear coat, small stone chips on the hood or bumper, light scuffs on interior trim, and tire wear within acceptable tread depth (usually 4/32" or more). Each leasing company has its own guidelines, but generally, if the damage happened from regular daily driving and is cosmetic in nature, it falls under normal wear and tear.
