    Yeah, as was mentioned. In the last few months, a lot of cars, trims and engines got removed from the scheme due to a global semi-conductor chip shortage. Those brochures, from manufacturers and dealerships, all only get updated four times a year (for each quarter) – while adjustments are being made all year around.

    Meaning, the Petrol was available at the beginning of this quarter – but they have been since removed. The best way to check this is to go to “www.motability.co.uk” and use their search, which is always up to date

    In regards to the 3008 specifically, it’s happening with multiple manufacturers – removing the petrol options, because fleet operators get big discounts on PHEVs, meaning that’s where they make the most money. See for example the VW Golf, basically everything removed – apart from the 245hp Golf GTE.
