      Just wondering if anybody knows the answer to this one?

      With all that’s going on with Motability and its impending, ongoing downfall I’ve decided to hand my car back and go private leaving the scheme after some 20+ years.

      My question relates to this: I’m almost 2 years into my current lease and when I signed up back in 2024 Motability were offering the £750 discount on all leases due to the then financial crunch.

      So, my lease was an AP of £3999 minus the £750 discount meaning I paid the dealer £3249. So does anyone know if I will get a 1/3rd of £3999 back or a 1/3rd of  £3249??

        I was in exactly the same position. Took Renault Austral in March 2024 and got the £750.

        Collected new car 2 weeks ago. Got the pro-rated AP back a few days ago and it works out at 11/36 of the non-£750 amount i.e. the full AP at the time.

        Theoretically this means the same should happen to you. Although you’re presumably aware of the £250 early cancellation fee and loss of GCB?

          Cheers, I hoped it should be that figure.

          And yes, aware of the other penalties too. Many thanks! 😀👍
