      For orders on or after 1 July 2026, leases will include:

      Mileage allowance: 10,000 miles per year (30,000 over a three-year lease or 50,000 over a five-year lease)

      Excess mileage fees: We will be increasing the excess mileage fees to 25p per mile including standard rate VAT

      Tyre replacement:
      Three-year lease: up to six tyres included
      Five-year lease: up to 10 tyres included

      EU breakdown cover: you will need to pay an admin fee and let the RAC know when you take your car abroad

        Hi

         

        Wow that is a change. Our current mileage is 18000 per year so that will be 24000 over 3 years will mean a charge of £6000 at the end!!! Plus extra tyres etc. I think my Maths is right. So it will be back to buying or leasing elsewhere as Motobility will not be fit for our purpose.

          you would think that the NAO findings  of early 2018, the NAO noted that reserves of £61 million would have been sufficient for safety, making the £2.4 billion+ total significantly higher than required, leading to scrutiny of the scheme’s operating model.

          Good pension for the directors

            Therefore some of the changes could be funded from MB without hurting their base line and support the people they are supposed to support. As usual the greedy get found out and move on with a good pension while the vulnerable get lambasted by the media for having a ‘luxury’ car. No recourse or payback.
