There’s a shockingly long list of faults for the Kuga Phev. Lots and lots of threads on forums and many people returning their cars under trade descriptions Act. It doesn’t help when Ford tell you under no circumstances to charge the car or use it as a Phev, instead issuing petrol coupons. The problem is that the initial faults have been difficult to rectify, contaminated batteries and Covid has meant the solutions have been deferred. I note the MG HS Phev is newly on the scheme. It’s so new there’s not much info about it that comes from independent sources. I cannot understand why manufacturers cannot offer more options. Mitsu don’t fit sunroof to the Phev because they explode. Audi think electric seats are only for top of the range Q3 which isn’t on motability. Seat don’t do sunroofs or elec tailgates. 3 years is a long time to live with something that isn’t really what you want. The great strength of motability is the high mileages allowed otherwise leasing the ordinary way, or buying something about a year old becomes much more attractive. It’s also a pain that cars come and go as if it was the local store running flash sales. For Gods sake can’t motability sign availability contracts that ensure vehicles come on and stay on at least for a year. Otherwise its just a lottery
Well said that man.
