    Sorry to hear that – unfortunately even when you find a good Motability rep, often 3 years later they have moved on. I do find some dealers just take Motability more seriously and ensure they have a good rep and presumably reward them accordingly. – how long before you get your car ?

    When we ordered we were told mid August, then within a few weeks that had slipped to mid September, then October/November, now even Vauxhall themselves are stating December, so in all honesty I’ve got new clue when we’ll actually get it. They’ve even taken it off the scheme now (we ordered the hybrid version as we can’t go Electric)

    If it was still on the scheme we would most likely have cancelled the order already, but now that it’s gone, if we cancel and can’t find anything that fits us as well as it does, then we can’t reorder it again. So we have to make sure a car absolutely fits us, and has a reasonably short delivery time before we cancel it.

    Normally I wouldn’t be so fussy with delivery times, but my current private owned vehicle, a 2007 Toyota prius, is coming up for its MOT beginning of September and it is highly unlikely to pass (previous Cat S, 81k mileage, already had to replace the hybrid battery once) the repairs to get it through it’s MOT are likely to be high, and we just can’t afford that on top of the AP cost and the loss of the PIP each month, it’s too big a hit
