Hi folks, Completed my order today and now waiting on Motability and the garage. Are Motability able to approve the application on a weekend? Wondering how lockdown might affect collection if it kicks in before it’s ready.
I cannot post authentication, but this info is from a reliable Motability source:
In light of the speculation that a second national lockdown maybe imminent our priority is for as many of our customers to be mobile before such restrictions come into effect.
To help give you the flexibility to support your customers both new and renewing, we will not be applying Confirmed Delivery Date (CDD) adjustments from 31 Oct.
You may see a CDD adjustment on your dashboard, but these will be reversed for handovers taking place from 31 Oct until a lockdown comes into force
Which in plain English means the ‘4 day rule’ can be over-ruled, particularly if the vehicle is in stock. Hence it means if your dealer can do his/her bits (pdi etc) then the dealership will not be penalised for doing an early handover.
