I think the article is referring to US markets not Europe. I wouldn’t trust AI, it told me 6 months ago that the renault 5 was on the scheme!
If the Peugeot increases are indicative of the rest of the scheme, I really don’t see how it can sustain itself much longer.
Motaclarity is a total waste of time as a website. They basically just list every single car coming out this year and say it “could” be on motability. Anyone can say that!
The Elroq was rumoured to be returning but whether that’s this Q or not remains to be seen. I think we can safely assume if it does, the AP will be higher than previously.
Would love to see the Renault 4/5 on there but don’t think the 5 will appear for a long time if at all, although the 4 might at some point in the future.
Probably down to lack of staff. The person driving your hire car to wherever has to be driven to your house so that requires 2 people.
Mine was just over 12 months. Got the letter to say they had extended my current award as no decision had been made and then about a week later got the text to say review was complete.
Renault 4,5 and Nissan Micra for me.
I think it would take a naive person to think that this won’t filter down to ALL customers in the next 12-18 months or so. I don’t like the idea of it one bit.
Not a question anyone can answer for you I’m afraid. I would shortlist the cars you are interested in and phone around the garages. They might have something in stock, or a cancelled order or suchlike.
If you get no joy from the call centre, always email the CEO of motability. I always find that’s the only way to reach a resolution.
My Yaris has adaptive cruise and is definitely less efficient if I use it.
I got quite a considerable discount on a pack I ordered on my mini 4 years ago. It was very dealer specific though, one refused point blank claiming the price was as stated, the other one honoured a £500 discount that a mini dealership was offering 100s of miles away and discounted the pack. A smile and a nice personality goes a long way!
I read somewhere but can’t remember where that the Elroq will be gone for this entire quarter. It’s selling so phenomenally well across all of Europe I suspect it’s to do with build and delivery timescales.
Would love the Renault 5 to be on the list and the scenic, megane and 4 to appear by the next quarter when I can order my next car.
Just bear in mind if you go for PCP and require adaptations to the car the finance company may not allow them.
Motability blame the residuals on EVs being so rubbish as the main cause for pushing up APs and yet they still push them very hard!
The government cannot afford to lose the millions they receive in petrol revenue. You can be assured once EV ownership reaches a certain level you can be waving goodbye to your 7p per KW to charge.

We just need those prices to spread rapidly across the UK!
Of course it does! They can continue charging their current rates and just pocket the difference
You’re assuming of course that the charge point operators will pass on that 15% reduction if it gets approved. I would be very surprised if they did.
What sort of range are you getting in it?
I tend to agree, RSA were much better to deal with than DL but I guess DL came out much cheaper for Motability. There’s the old saying though, pay peanuts, get monkeys.
It’s a notoriously grey area. You could argue going to the cinema, out to a restaurant etc was for your mental health so that you were fit and healthy to look after the person who receives the PIP.
