I'm guessing it's a lease just by a different name

It's pretty pricey but I guess it includes your tax and maintenance, plus you don't have to deal with any of the risk of depreciation

Still seems too expensive, the leasing market here seems a lot worse in general than other countries. For example in Germany you can lease an ID.7 for a similar price to the monthly PCP payments

I suspect the majority of leases here are company cars, since they can claim the expenses against tax AFAIK

It also includes public charging, but at ~12k a year for an MG4, I'll take the depreciation thanks. The cars aren't new either.
