Just to give the heads up to anyone who may be wondering whether people can search for the status of your Motability car.

I was recently inspired to perform an online search about my car, after trolls of a certain socialite I follow shared that one of the socialite’s vehicles was on finance. This info was evidenced through entering their number plate details for a fee online.

So I found a similar company & paid £10 for a search on my own Motability car-the report indeed confirmed that my vehicle was on finance with ‘Motability Finance’ including the date the logbook was issued, the length of the lease,  the lease agreement number, the number of previous owners plus all info you can view on a MOT/Road tax search on gov.uk.

This has been quite numbing lol as I don’t like being judged for having a car on the scheme. When I purchased the car I was advised that the public (except for police/DVLA) will not have access to info on the car being registered with a disabled driver.  Technically, this is true, but anyone who searches ‘Motability finance’ can find out what Motability is about. Oh well, I’m always going to be grateful for for Motbaility, just thought I’d share.

My question why do you get involved with all these low life Muppets, I am assuming its Two Facebook or Twatter, we have never bothered with such sites, its full of trolls, much nicer on here.

And why stress your self up to the point you are spending £10 of your disabled money to check the status of your Motability vehicle. You have done nothing wrong and nothing to be ashamed of, last time I looked it is not a crime to be disabled.

Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

The information listed on payable sites such as hpi (other ones are available) is standard across the vehicle leasing, vehicle finance and vehicle rental industry.

The reason it shows the leasing company and details is to prevent fraud, such as where someone tries to sell a vehicle in which they do not have propriety right (ie it is not owned by the seller) or there is still outstanding finance on the vehicle, secured on the vehicle.

Spin it round the other way, if you were a vehicle buyer, you would want to ensure that the vehicle you are purchasing was legitimately being sold by its owner. Else, if you buy it without doing the necessary checks (hpi etc), the actual owner could subsequently come and remove the vehicle from you, as the person/dealer which sold it to you had no right to sell it to you.

You would then be left chasing the seller who could well have disappeared with your money.

So, it is there to both protect buyer and seller and, in this day and age, forms part of the due diligence of buying/selling vehicles.

As a vehicle leasing company, Motability, along with the likes of Lex, Nationwide, Vanarama et al have a duty to protect their assets.

The fact Motability Operations is leasing only to recipients of one of four disability allowances is an unfortunate consequence of this. They are shown as owner (not keeper) as they are the only ones permitted to sell one of their vehicles.

Unfortunately its one of those things in these days of digital footprints we all have, disabled or otherwise.
Your mobile phone company knows exactly where you are, your council knows what you’ve put in your dustbin, the BBC knows if you haven’t got a license and the DWP know when large amounts of money goes into your bank account when your claiming benefits.

I’ve an app on my phone that let’s me see, free of charge, how my ex-Motability cars have faired since they have been handed back and what if any work had to be done on them to get them through the MOT.

I’m off now in case GCHQ are monitoring this site. ?

Well, Gothejulie other people might think otherwise. if you did not care then why did you feel the need to reply?

Let’s get into why someone with anxiety as a disability might be overwhelmed by what people think and then to read that there is a rule that advises them not to care what anybody thinks is not really taking that possibility into account

Is the rule specific to disabled people only or can it also be relevant for non-disabled people.

Discrimination works both ways

I do think that the idea of rules for disabled persons is questionable, but if there are rules then on whose authority are they written and what kind of consultation process has taken place?

But if we are forced to abide by this rule then its a pretty blunt simplistic catch-all use in every situation then I would think it needs more detail.

Because as well all know disability comes in many forms and 1 rule for all is not, in my humble opinion, the way forward.

Au contraire, your singling out a person with physical disabilities to project your own mental disabilities upon is itself discrimination, go troll elsewhere.

I’m simply replying to your daft idea that there is a rule for disabled people and I’m asking questions,that’s all

I don’t make the rules 😉
