Thursday will see the launch of the new Motability website:
‘Our website will be down for maintenance and upgrades from 10pm on Wednesday 18 September until 6am on Thursday 19 September. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.’
Can we list a number of improvements we would like to see and then check them off on Thursday morning.
While the photographs have improved slightly recently they still detract from the users experience, new cars have joined the scheme and the photographs have been of the previous but one model or without a photo at all, it should be better.

No change yet !
Looks new to me. I’m off to investigate.
JS This is what you get when they throw money at it . That other site without the inaccuracies is what they should have aspired to . /// POOR SHOW \\\
@Brydo you kept that quite!
It looks like they have Hired Brydo to work from the new Scottish offices. If you click on News on the top tool Bar then click on Motoring, Brydo has his own section lol. Sponsored by Auto Express. I wonder where they get their ideas lol.
There seems to be an inherent fault on the ‘new’ search site.
When one puts in ones search criteria (including WPMS as the allowance in my case), it returns a list of vehicles in AP order – all well and good.
However, when you then select an individual vehicle to look at, on that page the WPMS AP disappears and it only lists the DLA/PIP AP’s.
At least the old site (ie yesterday’s version) showed the correct WPMS AP’s!
Not very good to be honest.

Excluding the still “Unfit For Purpose” car Search To be fair the website is set out better, set out very much with new customers in mind but being less cluttered and easier to use Thumbnails I think it’s and improvement.
it would be interesting to maybe set a couple of questions that we often get asked on Here, then see how easy it is to get the answer/information from their revised site.
like what bhp variations are there on the 98 Ford Focus on the scheme ?
JS as a fellow Scot now residing in England it might take his mind off other topics and in so doing save his sanity. And ours . Brydo you are a star . Is Jimmy Johnstone your favourite Right Winger ? If your getting paid enough may i suggest a night in one of Trumps Hotels !
James I was more thinking more standard enquiries for example a question on the “how much is the good condition Bonus”
without using the search box. with the revised site it is easier to find.
Its not extensive information but I managed to find out its £600 and easy links to similar enquiries in just 3 clicks/presses from the home page, that’s an improvement at least.
try it! It took me a couple of attempts to find the shortest route but easier after a few plays.
Are they trying to do me out of my job, next they will telling us how many cars are on the scheme and how many have left, James out of a job also.
Its an anti Scots conspiracy lol.
The new website is certainly less cluttered
bigdave, actually that makes it worse lol.the old one when you searched for wpms and selected a manufacturer it gave you the list but if you just changed the manufacturer on the menu it changed the allowance and defaulted to pip. now it looks as though that glitch has spread.
it stilldoesnt include the ignis, arona and others in mpv/suv search they are in small/medium cars so you have to trawl through all the low saloons etc to find what may suit.
still rubbish lol.
They will have to address the Car Search Separately, but would encourage Every one to fill in the comments/survey and point out car search is inadequate, it’s a great opportunity to give feed back.
but I feel I must defend the rest of the website, it’s a step forward and a step in the right direction. More user friendly and simplified. Fingers crossed they tackle the car search next.
@BigDave i maybe ready your post wrong but when I try it selecting wpms it remains on that even when I select an individual car, am I missing something?
