Meri now, posting quickly after a long sabatical: 

Was his borrowing the car from work without permission? I assume 
you're talking about PoA where he and the other Weasleys escorted 
Harry to King's Cross? I'm pretty sure he called in a favor for those 
to keep Harry safe from Sirius. And I think he did the same thing 
(calling in a favor) to get the Quidditch Cup tickets (IIRC he helped 
Ludo's brother Otto out with some weird ferrets). So that's not 
bending the rules per se. But his tinkering with the Ford Anglia is 
certainly extra-legal.
