So, we are due to collect our new EV next week. Can’t wait.
We are keeping our personal second car. Is it possible to keep our personal car as disabled class, hence free tax and effectively opt to personally pay the tax on the Motability are which also happens to be nil ???
Both cars are used for the benefit of the benefit recipient just for different purposes.
Thankyou for any advice.

Yes! You need to speak with Motability and tell them that you want your skoda to be disabled class and then you can apply disabled class to your private vehicle by filling out the relevant form. If you private car is allready disabled class, you just need to sort it with Motability.

I thought you can only use your exemption on one vehicle at a time, and if you’ve got a Motability hire it goes on that, but if you use it on a private vehicle you’d have to pay full tax for the Motability hire?

I made an error on my previous post sorry
Yes, you claim the exemption on the car with the highest VED rate. If your Mota car was £0 rate and you private car had a VED rate of £300, you would claim exemption on your private car and be responsible for the tax on the Motability car.
Been there, MG ZS nil ved and we kept our Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8CRD at £400 a year. We didn’t even need to speak to MB it just all hot setup nicely as the ZS was free.
What is the situation if you have a private vehicle on disabled tax and you apply and receive a new Motability vehicle. Does the private vehicle’s tax expire on the date you receive the Motability vehicle?

I’m not sure about that Rich, as you have disabled class on 2 vehicles!

If the Motability vehicle is a lower rate, your better keeping disabled class on you private vehich and be responsible for the tax on the motability vehicle even if its zero rate. You need to speak to motability, so they don’t apply disabled class to your scheme car.
@kezo nope, I have disabled class on one vehicle mine, the other was an EV seeing as worst case that ved is £10 from 2025 I know which one I’d rather pay.
It’s all covered on MB website
If you decide to pay your own tax
Some people find it’s best to keep their disability exemption on a private vehicle and pay for their Scheme vehicle tax themselves. Let your dealer know when you apply or call our customer services team on 0300 456 4566 if you decide during your lease.I was in a similar position years back when I put my private car of £505 tax band on a disabled class, I subsequently ordered a Motability vehicle and specifically told Motability that I wish to retain the disabled class on my private vehicle which they agreed to.
The Motability vehicle still got registered on a disabled class and this was never changed despite advising Motability and DVLA of the mistake.
So I had two vehicles on disabled class for years, DVLA and Motability were all advised but this wasn’t rectified.
How would I know if Motability have registered my car as Disabled Class? I have requested a copy of the logbook several times, but not received it.
Sort of still on topic
Nethertheless imo a useful bookmark

Try paying the Darford toll charge, if you enter your reg number it will come up as exempt from the charge if it disabled tax class as the crossing is free.

I have checked it and my car is Exempt.
I will have to research what other Exemptions are available that I didn’t know I benefited from.

Have a look at the link I posted in OffTopic ‘which benefits are we entitled to’.
