    I think we’ve had this conversation before, but with respect I think some of the confusion may be because you are asking a question that doesn’t need to be asked, namely will the AP remain the same when the 2022 MY is released. Nobody knows, but it is completely irrelevant as the price you pay is the price on the day you order. If the long lead time means that you get the next model year then great, but it makes no difference to the AP you pay, which is not conditional on it being a specific model year. So, in summary, you should be able to place a factory order at any Volvo dealer tomorrow for an XC40 T5 Recharge Inscription Pro with the options that you want at the current AP. No need to have any conversation about which model year it is likely to be. If you have to wait ages for the car and you get a 2022 model year then great. As I say, you pay the AP applicable in the day you order, which is not specified as only being applicable to 2021 model year cars. I can’t help but wonder if the salesperson you are dealing with doesn’t understand the Motability policy as something straightforward has become unnecessarily complicated. Might be worth trying a different Volvo dealer. No reason that you can’t order the car you want at the current AP tomorrow. Good luck.
