    I have posted previously that I requested a lease extension last November, maybe for 6 months or the full 2 years and was refused. Just told they were not doing extensions anymore.

    On my fourth Qashqai, lease ending March 6th, 15000 miles, all cars returned with less than 23000 miles in excellent condition.

    Motability said I could order a new car up to the end of lease date, and keep the current one until delivery.

    New Nissan Qashqai Epower with updated engine has the same AP as before Christmas. With a retail price £38850 for the n connector.

    Currently looking to leave the scheme, and buy a “Prestige” car like the Audi Q3 (which was taken off the scheme), new S-Line cars available on Autotrader from £39000.

    Taking the Qashqai to Nissan for MOT, then I will do my evaluation of the motoring costs of the Audi against another Motability car.

    Only requirement is a boot size of at least 480l for daughter wheelchair etc.

    Considered you are signing up to a lease with Motability, were they can apply certain restrictions to some people, but not to everyone, and seem to make things up as they go along doesn’t seem correct to me, but I have enjoyed reading the various comments on this forum, and will continue to do so in the future.
    I hope everyone on Motability gets whatever they need to meet their requirements, extensions etc.
