@jsh88 Government schemes are paid for by taxpayers. Any scheme, such as the one you propose, can only be funded from within the scheme, which we pay for. So if some gain an advantage over others, the rest of us end up paying for it through higher scheme costs, which wouldn’t be fair.
I do agree that cars returned early should be recycled within the scheme though. I appreciate that Motability Operations make a sizeable profit from every new lease, but it’s criminal the money that Motability waste by sending these cars to auction and, again, we all end up paying for that through higher APs. Years ago when I had company cars we could either order a new car of our choice, or choose from a list of cars that had been returned early (usually by people who had left the company). I had a Volvo 850 GLT 2.5 and a BMW 3 Series M-Sport Coupe for short periods of time under this scheme.
