Yep. PIP might go up £7 a week with inflation next year so Motability will benefit from all cars that cost full allowance. However cars that cost less than full allowance – the customer benefits from the theoretical £7/week

Our Picanto has the traditional 4 speed traditional automatic box. Super to drive and smooth – poor fuel consumption always under 40mpg – not a problem for us. New i10 and Picanto after 2020 have automated manual – good for mpg and emissions but everyone hates driving them or so it seems.
Aygo X beckoning at the moment – perhaps a purchase – cheapest pure in white would be OK if wheelchair fits in sure wife will !!Will give it a look.
Sandero very wide for car class 1848mm – same as Audi A4! with turning circle 10.4m
Can’t go much bigger than Picanto with width 1595mm TC 9.4m( i10 or Aygo X would be OK)
Hi Myself
Really don’t know what to do. Need a really small automatic car because of very awkward parking space.
Currently have Motability Picanto with traditional automatic and low mileage -fine for needs.
Could order new Motability car in December.
Do I ask to extend lease? That gripes a bit as pay same lease for an older car and will have paid capital cost over 5 years.
or, Buy a Hyundai i10 ( order now, ready April, so garage says)with AMT or Aygo X with CVT ( if boot is big enough)
or, Lease either of these cars on Motability.
Thanks again Chris.
Don’t think many are aware that you can lease a very light wheelchair. As my spouse is ‘small and lightweight’ it means that we only need a small car, wheelchair in boot upright and luggage, if required, on backseat.
