Hi all,
Ive got an auto diesel Alhambra. I’ve extended and my 5 years will be up in April 22.
I have no idea what could replace my Alhambra, there isn’t anything suitable.
I have little knowledge of electric cars and there aren’t any to compare to the Alhambra anyway.
I am faced with maybe the only option being to purchase the Alhambra. My fear is, as it will be 5 years old and only covered 26000 mls, of mainly very short stop start journeys, am I inevitably going to be buying an expensive problem?
I don’t want to purchase,I want to stop on the scheme but the present climate is bonkers.
At present I have to regularly go for a 10 mile run up the motorway just to keep it happy.
Anybody got any experience of 5 year old DPFs?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards, wonky

Forget the DPF, the price Motability will want for it would be bonkers.
Far better off buying from a dealer and getting some warranty and probably a lot cheaper than Mota.
What Vinalspin said.
Also, i’m not sure that it’d be the smartest option to buy a Diesel with your driving habits. Car size aside, you literally have not a single upside to a Diesel. Higher taxes, higher fuel costs, barely able to heat the car etc pp. You might want to check for a used Alhambra petrol (will probably end up cheaper than purchasing yours anyway).
Prior: SEAT Ateca Xcellence Lux 1.5 TSI DSG MY19, VW Golf GTE PHEV DSG MY23
Current: Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate
Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.Hi Vinalspin and Rene,
Good points, I know Vinalspin had an Alhambra from previous threads.
Rene, good point about petrol.
Thanks, wonky
Hi Wonky, What about looking at the Ford Galaxy Titanium hybrid that’s on the scheme.
