Does anyone know if proof of no claims was carried over to DLM or was it lost with the change from RSA?
This Motability push to try and get everyone into EV’s is what will make me leave the scheme once our current lease is up in 2027.
For people who can’t afford to private purchase, it is going to be increasingly difficult to not end up in a potentially unsuitable car.
Motability needs to have a good hard look at itself imo.At the end of our latest lease in 2027 I will definitely be looking to see if it’s worth leaving the scheme. We’ll have been on it for 30 years by then. That’s a lot of money…
The new cars are less and less appealing to me every year, and tbh I think my wife would rather have the £12000 it costs for a 3 year lease in her bank account now.Well, picked our new Mini Cooper up from Marshalls Hampshire yesterday, nice experience all round and it came with half a tank of petrol which was certainly a nice surprise, as the last three Mota cars we’ve picked up have been running on fumes.
First Mini, and great fun to be back in a small car after so many years of ever bigger ones. Just have to learn all the tech now.There’s a reason a lot of people don’t want an EV. If you can’t charge at home then you’re going to get rinsed.
Nah, rinsed is when you spend £6 on a gallon of fuel…lol..
I can drive nearly 50 miles on that £6 of fuel, how far did blackj get for his £6.62 and 5% of electric?

You can cancel right up until the second you put the pin in and accept the car. Some dealers don’t like it at all but that’s their problem if they won’t spend 5 minutes redoing the order. Just tell them it’s no longer suitable.
Talk to the dealer you originally ordered from, it should be a simple enough process, that day or the next. I cancelled last week and reordered somewhere else.
This post just demonstrates why its important to brush up on your highway code regularly. Things change and when lives are involved people should make sure they keep themselves informed on what current regulations are
Unfortunately I suspect a lot of drivers pass their driving test then never look at the highway code again.
A young kid was killed by a speeding car in my village a few days before Christmas.
I hope people who have to take these courses learn that it’s not just a laugh to ignore speed limits.Our current car is an Allspace, I think that’s a £50k car which we paid well under £2k for IIRC.
I just see super high AP’s as a waste tbh, unless a specific vehicle is needed.
Each to their own though.Looks like the Mini Cooper S we ordered in December has gone down £200! Will wait for the dust to settle and if correct will contact the dealer.
2.0 Cooper S is still on the scheme, that’s got a bit of poke. Obviously won’t suit a lot of people though.
I’d like to see the AP of the car we ordered two weeks ago come down, then I can have ‘that’ converstion with the dealership.
Seeing as the government (and the next one) want to get the sick and disabled back to work then the chances of them dropping the retirement age are pretty much nil.
We ordered today, and will see how things look next quarter anyway.
Who knows, the AP might go down…We’re seriously thinking about the Mini Cooper S to replace our diesel Tiguan Allspace. Had big diesel SUVs/people carriers for the last decade or so on the scheme and thinking of getting a fun car for a change as probably a last throw of the dice before the motoring world goes totally boring / sensible.
Luckily there’s only usually two of us in the car, and with the rear seats down the Mini will take anything I’ll ever want to carry.
