    How does Motability know how many miles your car has done ?

    Servicing and MOT probably.

    Extensions only happen probably in the 3 months leading up to the current lease expiring at 3 years and MOT only happens at 3 years too , my cars servicing schedule happens at 24 months i gather that time frame is common with other manufacturers….. only the “op” knows the answer.

    I had my MOT reminder between Christmas and New year. It’s been booked in and done now. My 3 month window doesn’t open till a week tomorrow. Servicing is when ever they send a letter or email to me.

    Is your car older than 3 years ? are you into an extension period with your car ? I’m confused with what you said previously. I ask because you say that your car has had its MOT done now..yet your 3 month window does not open until next week. New cars that are coming upto 3 years old can have their “first” MOT done one month minus a day before the 3rd year anniversary date.

    My lease doesn’t end till middle of April 2026.
    My QQ has done 21.5k mi.

    I’ve had an email from Motability, telling me that it’s 3 months before my lease ends, and I should start to look at new cars. If I wish to continue with Motability.

    No extension invite for me.

    I have ASD and thus have difficulty with social and understanding information, written and verbal. I process information in logical blocks, before I reply. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong.
    I also have a corneal visual condition, which makes me visually impaired without daytime, or daytime bulbs, among other disabilities/conditions.
