If you don’t get this sorted out now, I think you’re going to be in for a nasty surprise on collection day.
Way too expensive, they are much cheaper to lease privately. Plus I suspect there’s quite a waiting list for them.
I’ve just had an assessment and was recommended the Bever one for £425. I did really like it, but didn’t know there was a cheaper alternative out there!
Yes the HUD is part of the pack 1. I test drove a countryman last month and they are very thirsty and nearly everything is controlled via the screen such as heating, seats etc. I found that very distracting and annoying. I then test drove and e-power qashqai and ordered it there and then. Same spec pretty much as the countryman and far more economical!
I did expect the micra, 4 & 5 to have dropped considerably this quarter. They are way cheaper on a private lease than motability.
I still don’t get or agree with Motability’s argument that you can’t have a hard wired dash cam installed. I had an incident in my current lease, where an aggressor gained access to my car, and motability let me install a hard wired dashcam……..Strange
Apparently motab have banned this from happening now according to the salesman but not sure if he was fibbing or not!
My understanding unless you collect your vehicle before 31st December, you can cancel your agreement if the AP increases in January.
I’m not sure that’s true.
The salesman reckoned it would be here in time for my new lease which will be 17th March. It’s due in about the 12th or smthg he said.

Health and cancer screenings for you and your partner
Discounted gym memberships
Charitable givingYeah I tried to bargain on the AP but they were having none of it, some total bull about now you as the customer are effectively ordering direct from Mini not from the dealer so there’s no room for negotiation….
The credit check will just be a soft search to basically confirm your details all tally up I would imagine. It’s not like you can default on payments when they get them direct from DWP.
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.
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.
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!
