Yes also the Mini Convertible has been deleted  as well also Audi is no more as the others join the Exiled manufacturer’s looks very strange many disappeared in grey on Motability website never seen it before so silly knee jerk reaction to blatant disability discriminations on false information.

Removed on the 15th November! You are on the ball your right although in 2026 the model is being deleted due to Polo GTI EV.

well at least the 3 door mini is still on there so at least one fun option available. i can get in and out of the 3 door but not the 5 door. next quarter will be the killer. an 8k vauxhall is allowed yet a £600 alpha isnt, politicians logic for you.

Yes but will the sporty 2ltr petrol still be allowed as in 2026 some say the jcw automatic will return again to Motability but it may not be allowed the polo GTI will that be removed which would be sad as some of us used to be bikers and like sporty choice also it would make the scheme very boring.

How stupid and low intelligence is this as no convertible’s which is british built Mini and only one other Mazda MX5. And as to Luxury cars I never thought myself that Mercedes or BMW or Alfa were Luxury cars  perhaps some top of the range which only may mean AMG I think of luxury cars as Rolls Royce high end supercars.Does it now mean that british built top end Minis will no longer be Available or anything top end may be removed which is ludicrous and Anti disability choice so does basic come to mind.

I got the email was a bit worried as this is like the ID card business if you are old school you just do not want your data thrown around but alas them days seem to be over. I know people say if you have nothing to hide everything is ok but again if you want a car on finance they do credit checks and many disabled and retired may not be able to get a car or scooter which is a bit worrying.

@on the spectrum, If the dealership caused the damage get them to pay for the repair. You shouldn’t have to pay for something that wasn’t your fault! Stand your ground and good luck.

I have tried phoned the a number of times and they say the service lady said she will speak to the manager as he was away the day it happened and then on friday I heard nothing so phoned again in the morning could not get to service lady and the salesman said she will be calling you but still not heard anything I feel like I am being a pest I did ask for the £100 excess but not sure this is going to happen. Also as many dealers getting through to the dealer is a nightmare as even though they use the old local tel number if like many times you cannot get through it goes to a national call centre and you still never get a call back, it feels like you are bagging your head against a brick wall.

No DLG says £100.

[on the spectrum]

If it is no fault of your own with picture backup should you still have to pay excess of £100 also if it is minor back bumper size paint of a 10 pence piece can I cancel the claim and get mobile chips away or another mobile paint repair or even a friend said he could just touch it up.As it was no fault of my own it means it was an expensive service with it being caused by dealer.Why do things get so stressful as I see someone at DLG went in for repair and came back with more damage to wheels scuffed and other scratch’s which does not give me confidence. As said a good mobile detail repair could be better but motability said it would not be allowed so what about stone chips if you have them I always with my own cars used to touch them up and my cars were still pristine. This is the problem when your realise they are not our cars even though I treat them like mine.

Sorry to hear that you’ve been unwell. If you find yourself unable to use the car, I’m sure that Motability would be very sympathetic to a lease termination so that you can start to receive your benefits as cash rather than paying for something that’s basically just sat outside your house. If not, hopefully you will be well enough soon to use it more and get your moneys worth.

Many thanks Glos hoping to when it gets resprayed bumper Motability tell me they do get some very low mileage cars back but I want to keep my car.

MG3 seems to be a bargain no MG4 I wonder if its due to new shape coming soon which I think is not as exciting shape as it was.

I have left windows 11 after being a windows user since XP and although liked it have gone back to Apple IMAC which has new OS not got it out on box as yet. The last time I was with apple was in 2001 on there old bulky coloured PC, I will have to relearn again.

I have my eyes checked at home every two years I know of people that are young and old that do not wear their glasses which is dangerous just because they are vain.

Just to add I think we are still lucky enough to have this scheme if it gets too expensive for me then I will leave but with the new Gov giving out the discount on EVS then I think AP prices will drop a bit but there are some good low peugeot deals and even some cash backs from dealers.

[on the spectrum]

Not sure about fit for purpose as I remember the shite blue pig three wheel cars and now there is choice, also there is the WAV now they are really expensive AP and for them I think to get a grant for one of these you need to be working or doing at least 16 hours voluntary work to justify the cost it never used to be like this but grants needed as said to justify the massive AP cost.

Sorry forgot to add the dealership was so helpful in face the best I have had while on the scheme nothing was too much trouble and went smoothly.There are some dealerships that I had arguments with about Equality act as they do not care.

Yes Kezo I got letter from Motability and I think they thought they were right but I stuck with it and the outcome last October 2024 they told Motability to let me have order over phone and to deliver it which was how it should have been as in the future there might be no dealerships or non near us to be able to get to Tesla is a bit like this but not on Motability.

Anyway Motability abided and gave me permission to order and have delivery and my pin was done at my home on laptop and dealer was over a 100 miles from me and everything went well. Remember Motability has a Exceptional Circumstances like they did under covid. The WAV for disabled has home visits and delivery orders from your home so why not disabled who are unable to visit dealers not have this as it sounds like a two tier service and Motability said that it was due to more tech on WAV which is not true as many for one cannot afford a drive from wheelchair car and some of our cars need a lot of tech in the same.

I can remember you going to the Ombudsman, but couldn’t remeber the outcome.

I won?

The great new toyota Corolla Hybrid 1.8 and 2 ltr a beautiful car and in GR form looks better and build quality is great.

Yes K they do look nice and drive well better they say than MG although the sport Cyberster looks good but will never come onto motability and it would be too low for me.
