Motability are probably scared that an extended EV at 5 years old, would not be attractive at auction to dealers and raise buttons in sales profit. They are suffering as it is from the value of 3yr old EVs vs what their calculations were back in 2022. Add on 3 year warranty, so any issues year 4 & 5 are on their dime…
Hmmm, you could always choose a car with a daft lead time, Enyaqs are about 12 months just now (according to Carwow’s lead time chart), so that’s a 4 year lease…and order it the day before your 3 year deadline.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
