    Do we have any evidence that Motability are actually going to put a total ban on people being able to extend their lease for an extra 2 year and if so when does it start.

    Nothing I have seen on Motability’s site suggests you can’t extend. https://www.motability.co.uk/get-support/faqs/can-i-extend-my-lease/

    Ah but the OP read it on social media so it must be true

    To be fair @MFillingham tends to post facts and is sensible enough to make sure they are facts and provide evidence. The screenshots of the webchat can be seen FB and were most likely from some ill advised Mobility rep, giving out the wrong advice or a sign of whats to come ?

    , thanks mate, I do try and keep to the facts wherever possible.

    It’s not impossible that this turns out to be nothing but I did see a bunch of screenshots with Motability chat which stated that the policy was changing to 6 months.  It might well turn out to be nothing or it could be exactly as discussed but I know I, for one, was planning a long term lease as that enables saving of the required AP and a proper update of the EV market on scheme.  It would be nice for the next car to be a step forward from the one planned for next month.
