My 5 year lease will expire end of this year. I rang motability and asked them if I order in late September/October ands delivery of car is expected to be 6 months, march 2025 for example, will they extend the lease? Yes they said as long as I have an order in place the lease will be extended until I take delivery of the new car. So in effect my lease could be 5 years 4 months. I know motability says ok but I sometimes think they might change their mind. Had anyone had their lease beyond 5 years? Current car is high spec suitable for 25s which is no longer available on the scheme and I want to hang onto it as long as possible. Thanks in advance for any replies.
No need to worry. The critical thing is that you order by the end of your 5 year lease. Waiting for the next car to arrive once ordered doesn’t technically count as a further extension, even if that goes well over the 5 years. They won’t leave you without a car.
