      I posted here the other day re. needing to talk with Motability about termination ‘cos we need a larger car.

      Now done. They have agreed, but I did have to pay the £250 early termination fee.

      Thanks to all who commented – it did help.

      Current: MY24 Renault Austral Iconic FHD.
      Ordered 5/2/26: Chery Tiggo 8
      Previous Motability cars:
      2013 Ford Focus estate auto.
      2016 Vauxhal Zafira 1.4T SE Auto.
      2019 Ford Kuga Vignale 1.5 auto AWD. (Ext lease)

          They are! When I challenged the fee, they insisted it is standard now.

          And you lose the Good Condition Bonus.

            Congrats.  Hope you find the larger car you need.

            I do wonder if they’re looking out for cars conveniently unsuitable within the next 6 months? It’d be really convenient to find your car unsuitable if there’s a viable alternative that’s highly likely to either go up in AP or be removed.
