Well, with the removal of the X1 today, I have just trawled through the current list to see what we would order if we were eligible to do so today and concluded that we would be leaving the scheme. There are a few that, if we weren’t in to our cars and had no other option but to source a car through Motability, ‘would probably do’ (such as the Ford Kuga and VW Tiguan) but none that we would actually ‘want’ or be even remotely excited about ordering. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry until Spring 2024, by which time hopefully the new X1 might be on the scheme (as long as it’s not just the low spec, small engine variants), but if things don’t improve dramatically I fear that our current Motability car could be our last.
I have say that if it was not the attraction of going electric, I would probably extend my lease. There are precious few offerings at present which appeal, some which would “do”, but many that come with huge AP´s.
