Unless it is a WAV then yes.
Details are here:

Obviously if you have extended your lease to 5 years, the lease may go on a bit longer whilst you await your next vehicle.

How long can you extend for? Do you have to give a good reason?

It is all in the link I posted above, under the ”Keeping your Motability Scheme car for longer” header.
Hi
We have had our motability car since January 2015 our current hand back date is March 2021.
3 year contract + 2 year extension + covid extension.
Car has now covered 40,000 miles.
What reason do you have to give to extend, on the website it says exceptional circumstances it can be extended?

The problem is, unless under the mileage lmits, Motability take each case on its merits.
Some things which may go for you is if the car has been adapted, or you paid a large AP which you may not be able to do again to fund a car which fits your needs very well.
However, it is really upto Motability and you need to speak with them.
When I asked motability for the 2 year extension, the girl said “You paid a high advanced payment” and that was it. The car had done about 24,000 miles at the time.
