It would be completely pointless for me to have one of these fitted as I would rack up enough red flags to lose my car in a day. I may add that I’ve never had an accident due to my fault in my life and have had no points on my licence in over 40 years.
If Motability have fitted a tracker without your prior knowledge then it would indeed be a GDPR breach and which is why I would take this with a pinch of salt.
If it was ever proven that they had then they would be liable for many millions in compensation.
I’m surprised the likes of BMW and Mercedes aren’t behind this as it must be impacting their sales massively.
With their financial clout I’m sure they could easily force another u turn from this ridiculous labour government as well as Motability.
I do wonder at times if Andrew Miller is a plant as the scheme has definitely gone to pot since he became CEO.
With the AP being almost £7K for what is the base model, there are far better deals with the private leasing companies than what’s offered by Motability.
Our eldest lad is 27 this year and is on our insurance as occasionally he has to move the cars around. This means if we keep him on the insurance we would need to have a black box on both cars. He refuses to have one too as it’s compulsory even though hes been driving for 10 years and never had an accident. So that’s 3 cars theyre going to lose.
My Enyaq hits the emergency brake numerous times when it doesn’t need to.
My son has a car on the scheme and he’ll be 28 when it has to be renewed. He’s already said that there’s no way he’s going to have a black box on principle. He’ll like me will go private for his next car.
I’ve been looking at the Cupra Tavascan albeit privately as the only one on the scheme is the base model and expensive for what it is. It reminds me of a smaller Lamborghini Urus.
I would look at some used Enyaqs if you’re looking at the Tavascan. I’d never buy new. Also the ID.5 or ID.4 is worth looking at.
I would never buy an EV full stop atm, especially a used one with the likely battery degradation rendering them worthless in the future.

With the way some of the public have responded, they’d much rather disabled people were left in ditches. This goes beyond Motability, though, I’ve seen people outright say they should stop giving benefits to disabled people altogether. When I asked one of them what would happen to those who require it as one of their only means of support, they said it should be down to family, and if they have no family, or their family doesn’t have the means to support them, then it’s natural selection. I am hoping it’s just bots online but I really don’t know.
This will be the Reform point of view. Ironically there are a number of Reform fans on this site. Turkeys voting for Xmas!
Who do you suggest we vote for at the next general election.
Apparently due to the issues many insurance companies won’t cover them and those that do charge a high premium.
The AP on my Enyaq came down not long before it was delivered. I queried this with the dealer who said to leave it with him. One hour later I received an email to say I would be paying the reduced figure.
This is just another case of Motability being out of touch with their customers. Since Miller took over, they’ve been a shadow of their former selves.
There are some very good deals to be had on the private leasing sites and you can throw in full maintenance for not that much more on top. The one deal that stood out for me was a Cupra Tavascan VZ2 which is the 360bhp model for around £360 a month and £4k AP. With the scheme you get the base 2wd model with an AP of around £7k. With the private lease there is no black box and the excess mileage charge is less than 10p per mile. My wife’s Mini is due for change in September and we’re seriously tempted by this. So much for Motability having VAT free status when this deal includes VAT.
Something is seriously not right with Motability’s pricing.
I’ve got an Ohme charger and it’s always failing. They are due to come out again soon to fix it but I know it will work for a few weeks before it breaks down again.
I’ve been looking around on the private leading sites and there are far better deals than Motability including maintenance. All you have to add is insurance.
We have 3 Motability cars in our household and it looks like none of us will be renewing.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if the black box suddenly stopped working.
I won’t be renewing for 4 reasons. I won’t be subjected to a black box, the mileage cap is too low for me, I can get better choices elsewhere and in all honesty probably a better overall deal going private.
I can see the scheme folding soon if so many people leave as looks the case, which would serve Motability right if it did.
What @fwippers is saying is perfectly true. Under these new proposals, Motability will no longer be the cheapest option. Unfortunately for a lot of people, it’s the only option.
It’s almost like they’re using the enforced changes as a profit grab at the expense of the disabled.
They’ve got to pay for their gravy train somehow.
The 25p per mile charge is clearly a profit grab. Motability know that many people will leave the scheme and they are simply budgeting for this. Someone has to pay for their over inflated salaries, gold plated benefits and over the top premises. You only have to look at what other leasing companies and PCP deals charge to see this is what’s happening.
It’s disgusting and they should hang their heads in shame.
I’m disgusted with this and it seems like a total rip off. Motability pay higher than average salaries with higher than the norm employee benefits and operate from premises that are far too lavish for their operations. At the end of the day they are just a call centre.
This will definitely be my last car on the scheme. I will use my benefits to get the car I want with the mileage I require and with the deals that are around it won’t cost me any more than I’ll be paying on the scheme.
What really gets me is that Motability just rolled over and accepted it knowing it doesn’t affect them. They will still earn the same money, get the same benefits and work from their ridiculous extravagant offices. It’s us that’s paying for it all and they’re laughing in our faces.
Take it from me you won’t regret the Enyaq. It’s a fantastic car and must easily be one of the best on the scheme.
I have a velvet red one and everyone comments on how good it looks.
The only unfortunate thing is due to this stupid government, I can’t have another coupe even though it’s not what I would call a coupe.
What’s ridiculous is that I can take on a private lease with up to 30k miles a year, so I don’t understand what this ridiculous labour government means by putting the mileage allowance in line with private leases.
A 10k a year lease is significantly cheaper so does that mean Motability leases will be far less than they currently are?
What I can’t understand is why none of the manufacturers or disabled groups have taken the government to court.
Does anything surprise you with this ridiculous government we have.
One thing I find ridiculous is the fact I can’t have another Enyaq Coupe yet I can have the identical ID5.
Make it make sense.
