    Everyone has a tipping point. This year Shrinkflation and higher prices means the supermarkets literally have millions of unsold Easter eggs. We have stopped going to our usual coffee shop as I refuse to pay almost a tenner for two drinks. The same I believe will happen to motability,  higher prices, less choice, a poorer package, and for some black boxes and the control this brings. So, whilst many will still use motability,  unless there is a revision of the new mileage and excess fees, I would expect to see a significant fall in scheme users. Not the 64% mentioned in an online video, but certainly a % in double digits. Some will lease privately,  some buy second hand and perhaps a few new, and there will be some who will keep the cash and use Taxis/Mobility scooters. The acid test for many will be “Does the scheme offer me good value for money and what I need?”
