    …you may fall fowl of the new Drive Smart criteria depending on how they interpret ‘ new-to-scheme’

    • Anyone who is applying for their first vehicle on the Motability Scheme regardless of the age of their drivers
    • Anyone who hasn’t had a lease with us in the last 7 years including anyone who started a lease and didn’t complete it within the same timeframe

    The second half of the second point could catch a lot of people out.

    That second half of the second point is baffling. Why should early termination of a lease (which can be for many different valid reasons) mean drive smart has to be fitted to a new lease? I don’t see the link.
