Very interesting reading different peoples experience, I ask about a grant and was basically told my present motability car had a high AP, and they would not give me an AP grant for the car I wanted because of this. I questioned this answer and explained we paid for the extras and the AP ourselves, it used every penny we had. Extras were heated seats, heated steering wheel and park assist which gave us rear parking sensors, all of these help my disabilities.
I explained I need an SUV it’s not a choice it’s because of my disabilities and some SUV boots are too small to fit my scooter in, therefore lowering the suitable vehicle choice even more. If the AP is high on a suitable vehicle that’s not my fault, it’s also not my fault I have to have an automatic therefore the AP is normally a lot higher than manual. The lady then started suggesting different cars with low AP which were nowhere near suitable, I said the suggested cars were not SUV and not suitable to be told “well maybe just go and have a look at them”.
