I ordered mine on the 4th of April same spec as yours, still no news but after going to the dealers multiple times to chase up he made the mistake of showing all car orders he currently had which showed both motability and private customers on, the private customers cars was ordered within a week of 1st contact, the motability customers orders were all sat on until the beginning of July so was never ordered when the paperwork was signed. This was at kia in Pyecombe near Brighton for anyone on here who may of ordered from the same place.
I’m afraid that this happens all the time and is certainly not unique to that dealership. This issue crops up time and time again on this forum with all manufacturers. People are under the misguided belief that the day that they select their new Motability car at a dealership, and it shows up on their Motability account, the car has been ordered. It hasn’t. Regardless of what the Motability website says, or what the dealer tells you, dealers will usually have to wait until they get their next batch of factory build allocations before they can actually order the car. This can sometimes take months, as has been the case with yours.
That is why it is essential before placing an order to ask the dealer if they have available build slot allocations and if they say yes (or they will next month) make it clear that you want a trackable manufacturer order number (not a Motability or dealer order number – they are just admin, not orders) as confirmation that the order has been placed. Until a dealership can provide this, it’s almost 100% certain that no order has been placed.
This forum is littered with threads about why some people wait months longer than others for the same car and all sorts of theories abound, none of which are true. The answer is almost always that one dealer had an available build slot allocation x months before or after another.
To answer the OP’s question, it doesn’t matter if a car is removed from the scheme. You will still get it, as long as it’s actually been ordered (see above).
