Hi Winston, thanks to a weak government and Motability unwilling to stand up for us, the future is looking a lot less fun for those with any appetite for decent cars.
From various posts both here and on Social Media, the best way to get an extension is to go to the grants team and tell them your car is still suitable for your needs. They’re the only team capable of authorising a 2 year extension with ease.
As someone who still gets some joy from cars, the choices that are available that equate to either fun or decent depending on your preferences are extremely limited. Even Motability have stated they’re focusing on their core mission, which is providing reliable, practical cars for disabled people to achieve independence. That was immediately followed by the removal of coupes, 2 door cars and convertibles. There’s a lot of people assessing their options away from the scheme especially with Salary Sacrifice schemes getting just as much help but without the BS.
Id definitely call the Grants Team, they’ll be the best bet at achieving that extension.
