The thing that irks me about Motability prices is that no other lease should come close to Motability prices when you consider that they are the largest leasing company in Europe (will get the best discounts), purchase price is automatically 20% less due to zero tax and they are the only leasing company protected from inflation (except for any cars that don’t cost our whole Mobility allowance). If you’re a low mileage and low insurance risk, there are often better deals if you privately lease. Obviously not everyone can lease due to credit checks. Then there is the pros and cons of private leasing if you lose your PIP entitlement. Great that the car isn’t taken away like with Motability, but very bad if you can’t keep up with repayments. I also like that having Motability in your corner helps when things go wrong with your car.
There aren’t many advertised 20,000 mile leases. Whilst Motability are the biggest lease company in the country, they operate very differently. Usually, there’s a list of pre-purchased cars or select models that can be purchased through the lease company. Motability just allow the dealerships do their thing. Yes, there’s are limits in which cars are available but you are required to attend the dealership and try the car before placing your order. You then return to the same dealership to collect your car in person. Because of that difference orders aren’t place as a guaranteed quantity (for example 100 Peugeot e3008 GT Lines in various colours) but prices are negotiated on the probability that ‘x’ customers are likely to order at that AP.
