I think Motability keeps it.
We’ve never had the log book for our Mota cars. I think only the owner gets them.
Current: MY24 Renault Austral Iconic FHD. AP £3,995 +£570 for hoist.
Previous Motability cars:
2013 Ford Focus estate petrol auto.
2016 Vauxhal Zafira 1.4T petrol SE Auto.
2019 Ford Kuga Vignale 1.5 petrol auto AWD.November 12, 2018 at 6:14 pm #65108Hi matty
The log book or V5C is held by motability. You will be on the system as the Registered Keeper, So will get parking and speeding tickets etc sent direct to you if you get any.
However if you want to take your car abroad you need to get form VE103 certificate (vehicle on hire form which proves you have the owners permission to take the car abroad) funnily enough you get that from RAC motability assist.

November 12, 2018 at 6:46 pm #65111You can request from motability a copy of the logbook if you wish, this can be sent digitally or by post. I got a digital copy of mine as was required as authentication for the Mazda App. Typically a logbook is required for cherished number plates.
November 12, 2018 at 7:28 pm #65119November 13, 2018 at 9:34 am #65147I can confirm what Trev said and Motability will send a copy to you if you need it.
I had to do it a couple of years ago when they stopped putting a tax disc on windscreens and Bournemouth council wanted to see a copy of the log book as proof the car was in the Disabled class for road tax then Bournemouth just put that on their computer that traffic wardens can check if your entitle to free parking. A little bit tricky in my view as you can’t be sure they’ve done that but councils were left a problem when they done away with tax disc’s.
Motability sent me the log book as a PDF to my e-mail address and assume they still do that.

As 1st time Mobility users we were baffled as to how to continue with a disabled box application as there wasn’t a log book in all the paperwork we were given when collecting the car. Your explanation was very helpful and enabled me to apply for a copy of it using your link. Thank you
February 5, 2022 at 4:23 pm #176264Sarahhi, looking at buying a car that used to be a mobility one.
The garage doesn’t have the log book, which seems a bit odd.
pls advise if this is normal. They are say I have to apply to Dulce once bought but not sure I want to take the chance…??
thnx
February 5, 2022 at 4:48 pm #176270Sarah very unusual for an ex Motability car not to have V5 my guess is it was once Motability but not last owner I would avoid
I am the carer / driver for my wife who cannot drive due to disability
February 5, 2022 at 7:24 pm #176286ChrisWalk away Sarah.
The Vehicle should have a log book.
February 5, 2022 at 7:29 pm #176288Belfast4Very normal for Leasing company’s not to have a log book, the amount of cars they have a lot of them get lost, binned or posted to the auction or dealer and go missing. It costs £25.00 for a new V5 ask the garage to pay for it. No big deal look at the amount of cars at auction with buyer to apply when the car is being sold.
February 5, 2022 at 10:16 pm #176300When I was an auctioneer for Motability cars were not ready for sale without the V5 so that’s why I say it’s not usual for Motability.
