I recently went to look at a car and was told they wanted a non refundable £1,000 deposit as they were sick of people cancelling their order. I told them not for me then, why should a multi million pound company have a £1000 of my money in their bank for 6 months.
Many people have given cars back because of the mistakes this app or black box has caused.
The women in England who left her house at 9.06 and returned at 10.24 after going to Asda.
The black box said she had driven over 300 miles, when she said she had a doorbell camera showing the time she left her house and returned they asked to see the footage because they didn’t believe her. Apparently there is been an awful lot of the same all over the UK.
Go on to VW website and build one, you will find they are not available anymore. You can not choose a diesel except in the ones I mentioned above.
I ordered tayron r line diesel in April, haven’t heard otherwise yet
They only took them off Friday 1st May yours will be fine.
The Tayron in Elegance model is available as a diesel car to buy. But it is not on Motability. They are stopping selling all diesel cars in 2026.
At present the only diesel VW’s available are a golf, Tayron elegance and a tourag. None of which are on Motability. It says on Motability website they are available, but they are not available on the VW website. Tayron petrol is available ok.
Seat Leon unfortunately I could not get out of it. I am going to look at a tucson hybrid and the kodiaq sport line. Both have everything in them.
Yes Skoda kodiaq I have been looking at it. The SE is not very well equipped. I might just go for the sport line kodiaq which has every thing in it except for the diesel engine. 😂
Unfortunately as VW have stopped selling them in the UK they are not available to order not just for Motability customers but for any customers.
I can not order anything until the 28th June. Looks like it will have to be a petrol car. I was going to get a Tiguan black edition as my last Diesel car. I will have a couple of days to get my order in before the 1st of July.
VW are stopping selling diesel cars. They have 3 cars available the golf, Tayron Elegance model and the Tourag. On the Motability website it says the Tiguan and the Tayron are available but they are no more.
I have phoned 2 VW dealers today and both have confirmed that the Tiguan and Tayron are no longer available in the models available on Motability. I would have thought Motability would have been aware of this but obviously not.
I have driven diesel cars for the last 40 years most with a variant of colour of the diesel itself. I hate the thought of having to get a petrol car.
Intriguing detail. Very grateful and open minded. Recently ordered a vehicle, through Mb, the delivery of which might be delayed owing to events. Does anyone know what the situation is for Motability customers with a vehicle order in the system should they want to lease independently of Mb? Thanks Hb
yes you just cancel the order, then order your lease car and tell Motability you are leaving.
You can do this in N.Ireland at the minute, very small cost of £2,650.00. £600 to dig the trench which if I was fit and able I could do myself for nothing. The stormguard to go across the pavement is £60.00 from eBay or Amazon. It is just a take on to make a lot of money for the installers.
If you have bought the car with your own hard earned money charge it to conserve the battery, if it is a lease car no matter where it is leased from charge it to 100% it is no skin of your nose if it needs anything done to it under warranty.
The manufacturer App should be installed with the full help at the dealership,set the charge limit to 80%.
Could I ask why only charge the car to 80% why not charge it to 100%
Please be aware if you lose you PIP or the lease hold dies the debt still stands.
If you are dead….. You are not going to be worrying about the debt are you?? If you lose pip, you lose your motability car anyway? 4 red lights on the black box an you get kicked off the scheme.
Full aware of the drive smart box, however, if you lose you PIP on a lease you are still saddled with a debt or your wife/estate if you die. We may consider a Tesla lease , however we are reserves if it goes tits up.
No one is saddled with any debt if you die with a lease car, it is just taken back by the lease company and sold or re leased as a used car.
General Procedure for Most Models
Switch the ignition off.
Press and hold the button for resetting the trip distance or the button at the end of the left stalk.
Switch on the ignition while continuing to hold the button.
The display will start a countdown.
Release the button when the display shows “=0” or “0”.
Turn the ignition off and then back on to confirm the light is gone.Am I missing something here, they continually state those on current vehicle leases are not effected by the changes until renewal time. So now your saying, from mb ops, the new milage starts now for all?
definitley missing something if you read what he actually wrote.
Sound plan and I am just waiting for PIP renewal to complete before deciding to go the same route
You could be waiting a long time, a story recently of a girl who was getting reviewed, they give her an award for 2 years, it took them 18 months to do the review, 2 days after she received the letter she got a letter and a form for another review. It is taking them a long time to do reviews in N.Ireland.
The best one yet. 1 years driving.
