I’m not a motability customer but I do buy citreon cars. You have to upgrade to have a spare so it’s an addition cost to add to your finance. My last car had one because I asked for it. This time I forgot and fell fowl of it.
I’m told by he many car nuts in my family, that brand new cars don’t often have spares these days, just the puncture repair kit. Although the luxury or more expensive brands may be different. My budget doesn’t stretch to those though. I agree it’s annoying though
