Hi and thank you for clearing that up for me. It seems that my confusion was brought about because I was using the table indicating it was paid on a pro rata basis here: https://www.motaclarity.co.uk/news/how-much-is-the-motability-good-condition-bonus They have clearly changed the system since that table was published. It’s a shame Motability customer services weren’t as helpful at explaining where the figure came from, as you are. Many thanks again.
“To be eligible for the full bonus you must keep your Motability vehicle for the full duration of your lease. On 1 September 2019 Motability introduced a pro-rata system for people terminating their Motability lease agreement early, so even if you don’t keep your vehicle for the full duration of the lease you can still qualify for the Good Condition Bonus if you look after it.”
Hi Clair, From how I read the link (bold part), is if you terminated your lease early <3 years, you would receive a pro rata on the good condition bonus. For a Full 3 year lease and upto 5yrs its not paid on a pro rata basis.
At the time the GCB was £600 for a 3yr lease and £900 for a 5yr lease. Keeping your vehicle into the 4th year the additional GCB is £100, so not on a pro rata basis, as suggested in my first reply and that your payment was correct.
My previous car I kept for 4yrs 6 months, like you I received £350 early, plus £250 making the 3yr GCB £600. I then received an extra £100 for extending my lease under 5yrs, making my final payment £350 (£700 in total) At the time I questioned this and seem to be given a better explanation, than they gave you 🙂
I hope that makes a bit more sense 🙂
@Marky36 the £100 is as outlined in my first comment and above 🙂
