I’m very new to the scheme so I only have the knowledge of what cars are currently available, unfortunately I have to agree with the majority of people that the choice is quite poor. Out of curiosity, what cars were previously available (No particular timescale but say going back 5, 10 or even 20 years)? What were the highest spec/best models you could choose from? What manufacturers were previously available which now aren’t? Also, what was seen as a high Advance Payment 5 or 10 years ago?
Here are a few ‘Motability Quarterly Price Guides’ (from the days when Motability did produce a price guide listing some of the available vehicles every quarter). They show a selection of what was available and the AP’s back then:
