So while all cars ordered after July 1st will attract VAT (save the usual exemption) some ordered this quarter will also attract VAT. That all depends on when dealers can deliver, so many APs are probably higher than they should be now to absorb some of that potential VAT. It’s probably on higher AP cars, and those that are most likely not to be delivered until after July 1st; another reason for the Enyaq increase. I also suspect to keep things simple next quarter there will still only be one AP per VIN; those that don’t have to pay due to significant adaptions and a fulltime wheelchair user will have their AP reduced after their application hits pending
Explain how some cars ordered this quarter before the 1st of July will attract vat to the Advance Payment.
As far as I am aware any car ordered before the 1st of July no matter when delivery takes place will not have vat added to the AP
Use your 8 tyre allowance over the 3 years you have to get drive smart app. I have had 2 punctures on two tyres which kwik fit won’t attempt to fix because they are Pirelli with seal inside. It is just getting beyond a joke.

You select which postage method you want to offer, Royal Mail, Evri and I think another courier. Buy pays postage and eBay send you a postage label for you to print at home or a 2D barcode to take to the post office or Evri drop off point, they’ll scan the code and print your label for you. All you need to do is find a box and package them up. I ran a business selling on eBay for over 20 years, it’s really easy now.
And it is now one of the most expensive places to sell anything as a business seller. Put the items for sale on Gumtree it’s free for the advert and no fees to pay.
Agree for a business seller ebay has priced itself out, the rot started years ago when sellers were prevented from leaving negative feedback, promoted listings was a killer for me. But it’s totally free for a private individual seller, except for motor vehicles.
Totally agree I also had a huge business on eBay but it is no longer viable with the postage cost and the fees. Another big problem I have now found listing the odd item they can now just change their mind with no consequence, say the item is damaged and want partial refunds. The amount of fake stuff on it now is ridiculous, and if you report them eBay say it is ok.

The most plastic interior you will ever come across. An awful car.
Pay the AP when the car arrives at the dealership and you are there to collect it.
If they won’t give you your £350 back. Go in to the showroom and accidentally fall over making sure you hit your head of the softest part of the door. Huge dent in the door will give you a bit of a sore head it will also give them a sore head. 😂
Digital mileage correction will make a fortune from this.
Do the plate transfer online, hand the car back with your own private number plates on it. Tell whoever you give the car back to here is the new number for this car. You will then have to ask the dealer to make you a new set of plates with your personal number to go on to your new car. It costs a dealer around £7.00 to make a set of plates. Ask them nicely and they should do it for you.
Make sure you do your homework on the Fleet solutions scheme. With some of the more expensive cars money is taken from your salary and money is taken from your pension to pay for the car.
The charges if you have any damage at the end of the lease are quite expensive.
In the last budget Mrs Reeves announced something about £60,000 being reduced to £2,000 for salary sacrifice and pensions. You need to see exactly what that was.
Do you have a 3 year contract with what ever job you do in the NHS?
Is the Puma on special offer at the minute they have special offers all the time.
Just make sure you do a lot of research into it.
March 20, 2026 at 5:54 pm in reply to: handing an electric car back to motability at lease end. #348075That’s handy for the guy with the trade plates that has to come and collect it. No miles left and no fuel stations for miles.
And just in case you haven’t noticed fuel, be it petrol or diesel is now £500 a litre. 😂
A lot of Motability cars go nowhere near an auction, Motability have their own website for selling Motability cars. It is very simple for the dealer you leave the car back to, if they are Registered buyers with Motability to buy the car.
If you are not going to get another car leave the car back to where you got it from but have a discussion with them about buying the car from them. They can get a price for it. If you agree the price with them you can then buy the car from them.
A car can be serviced in any garage, certainly would not have to take it back to mainland UK to get work done.
If they reduce mileage to 10,000 a year and excess mileage is 28p per mile. If someone does an extra 10,000 over the 3 years that is £2,800. I can’t see to many people going for that. I don’t think any of the lease companies charge 28p per mile.
In an EV 4 tyres in 3 years will never work.

Buy an OBD cable to hardwire the camera. It plugs into your OBD port and not your fuse box. It will give it whatever power it needs.
Either they have not put it on, or they have put it on wrong and it has fell off on the drive home. No matter what, they should replace it FOC
As your probably aware, they wouldn’t install a charger on a property with on street parking, so its in your own interests to have the installation defered.
why? I thought this was allowed now, it is allowed in N.Ireland. Does someone on here not have one across the pavement at there house.

The only way to stop the VAT bit on the AP would be to pay the AP when you order the car in June for example.
I know lots of people could not afford to do that, but it might be a way round it if the funds were available.

They are taking a very long time to look at the reviews. If they do say no appeal it, which will give another few months. I know someone that waited 13 months on their review.
