Experts at Leasing Options say vehicles could become damaged by powerful UV rays which could force drivers to splash out for urgent repair work. They warn rays can penetrate molecules in the car’s paintwork which could cause the bodywork to become less reflective and appear dull.
This could result in drivers having to fork out for their vehicle to be resprayed to fix the damage.
However, Leasing Options suggests a full respray would set drivers back an average of £2,400.
Mike Thompson, Director at Leasing Options has also warned drivers tyres and car battery could also need to be replaced.

The specialist says many of the 300,000 tyre-related breakdowns each year take place over the summer months.
Holts Auto also issued a warning for car batteries, warning the weather can “take its toll” on the vital part.
Very hot weather can damage the chemical processes inside the battery meaning they struggle to hold their charge.
