Monday 18th January – Vehicles on the Scheme – 1563. No change
Fact of the day
As mentioned on a previous thread today is Blue Monday, the third Monday of January, the most depressing day of the year. It shares a date this year with the most dangerous day of the year to drive.
Stay safe everyone!
Fact of the day song
How does it feel
When you treat me like you do
And you’ve laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are?"the world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams-its heaven and hell "(RJD)
Seat Ateca FR Black Edition 2.0tsi 190 dsg 4drive Nevada WhiteAh, the Hacienda, good times
Being ‘Blue Monday’ I guess we should take as a positive that we have now had a 3 day break in the continual decline in the number of cars available through the Motability scheme. I know that two of those three days were the weekend but hey, it’s something 😉
Tuesday 19th January – Vehicles on the Scheme – 1571. 8 added

Toyota
2 RAV4 added back onto Scheme

2WD Excel trim £3845 AP
Those RAV4’s are like yo-yo’s
Yes, very odd. You can understand that there might be reasons why some cars go off the scheme for a few months, if there are supply issues for example, but to come off for a week or so and then go back on makes no sense whatsoever.
A dear friend of mine has the top of the range Rav 4 all wheel drive it’s very economical she gets mid 50 s mpg lovely ride high up etc. U.K. too big for me that’s why I went for the CHR

That’s interesting Mike. It doesn’t get rave reviews but that’s superb mpg. I bought my wife a brand new Rav 4 2.0GX Auto in 2002 and she absolutely loved it. In fact we kept it for 10 years until she became eligible for the Motability scheme and we were both sad to see it go, other than the fact that we started having engine management warnings due to sensors failing, but it had been faultless in the first 10 years. She still talks of it as her favourite car of all time. Might have to give it a second look.

Good to see a few more coming on to scheme. Some of them quite good, too. Would seriously think about the PHEV Seats and the all-electric Peugeots. Proper car-sized things, not tanks!
Great day for EVs 👍
Tharg can i ask what is a ”Proper car-sized things, not tanks”
peugeot 208 and seat leon are small cars i think
how long will the xc40 recharge stay on , i think it was 5 days last time
Tharg I am gutted I missed it, the xc40 phev was top of my list, in the absence of a decent size BEV, (that the wife liked lol). I asked motability about it coming on the scheme, before we ordered the petrol version, and was told it was unlikely to be on the scheme. Even the motability salesman smiled when I asked him about it.
