    None of the changes affect me personally as our annual mileage is around 6k and I wouldn’t take the car overseas and barring sabotage,  6 tyres should be plenty.  I was thinking how unfair the mileage allowance and 25p excess will be on those who have a motability car and work full time with a daily commute of 30-40 miles, fairly typical.  Over the course of a year that’s around 8000 miles, leaving virtually nothing for pleasure,  family visits, holidays etc. If Motability had retained the 5p excess charge, even upped it to 8p or 10p, the industry standard,  it would probably have been more palatable.  What they have done is penalised thise working and those in rural areas, where  a car essential with facilities,  shops, doctors, hospital etc often a distance away.
