I know some have had cars longer than 5 years whilst waiting on new order,but as anyone extended even longer than 5years?or is it literally times up return it, when 5years is up and no new order has been placed?

Hi Paul
You ask an interesting question in these strange times of chip shortages and how they impact our lease duration.
I would advise you give Motability customer service team a call on this. It is one of those things that would have to be dealt with on a case by case basis.

I suspect those with a five year lease may well be able to extend beyond 5 years, but that will be heavily modified cars and WAVs I bet.

When you reach the end of 5years lease, then extending for longer @DumfriesDik.
If at the end of 3 and then being quoted more than 2 years, would be a nightmare lol.
having said that mercedes aren’t far off that length of time now and some vw.
On the ‘special’ non-customer facing Motability website (the one we are not allowed to mention or provide a link to but I think most members here know of its existence), an item dated 2nd December 2021 has appeared regarding lease extensions as follows:
It obviously doesn’t specifically rule in/out extending a 5yr lease, but does state:
Which customers will be lease-extended?
All car and WAV customers will receive an automatic lease extension if:
Their contract ends on or after 2 December 2021.
They have not yet ordered a new vehicle.
Lease extended customers will receive a new Certificate of Motor Insurance or temporary cover note from RSA Motability for this period.So, taken on face value, if you haven’t ordered a new vehicle you may get an extension?
I don’t know of its existence, first time seeing it.
Why aren’t you allowed to mention it? Seems interesting, would like to take a gander myself. Also.. MDP reward programme, is that the dealership compensation?
Can’t find the website via google. 🙁
Got it, cheers bud.
@rene see how long this stays here https://cars.motabilitydealer.co.uk/

I believe that the ‘increase’ amounts to £20, so I’m not sure that it’s going to make a great deal of difference!

It’s Motability who need to relax their 3 month order rule even if it’s temporary with most delivery times being at least 6 months plus.
