If you had paid extra for a sunroof would you be taking that from the car.
Obviously you can’t take extras like that! We paid extra for rear privacy glass but the cost of that was worth it for us. A wheel and toolkit is a bit different. I could’ve bought it after getting the car but chose the convenience of ordering at the time of placing the order. Either way it’s removable so staying with me!
Bottle of gunk and small 12v pump is all any of my cars with no spare had. You’re just right to take them out and get yourself a few pound back for them.
You don’t even get a 12v pump with BMW, we didn’t anyway. Didn’t even get a can of gunk, not that I would use it anyway.
if you remove the spare tyre etc that is fine but you will have to supply the tyre repair kit (liquid) and 12v tyre pump and the holder for these otherwise you will be returning a vehicle that is not road legal which the dealer can refuse or notify motability and they can then pass these charges to you, so beware
As above, the car didn’t even come with these, just a jack and wrench. Besides, a bottle of gunk would be out of date after 6 years so I definitely wouldn’t be replacing that.

</p> That sounds like a lot of tosh. Never heard of that happening on a Motability car. When I handed my car back the lass went out an done the checks on the car an said its good for the GCB. Then she asked me if the car had a spare or the gunk can, I replied I had not looked and dont know, so she marked it as having a spare. If you follow your logic through, given your statement that the dealer can reject the car, that means the handover is stopped, the Motability customer has to go away in their old car and the dealer is left with a car registered to a customer that is denied the new car. It is now a second hand vehicle. What are the dealer or Motability going to do with that??
Didn’t even get asked about the car we were returning. He went outside, had a quick look around and said it’s in really good condition for it’s age. Just one small door ding that someone caused. So happy days! ??
Hi done this for the last 12 years. You can remove the spare and everything that comes with it and you do not have to provide a replacement solution. Check with Motability but unless it’s changed you should be hunky dory.
Thanks, good to know others have done it. The car is with the dealer and they authorised the GCB.
