Hi I have never had a mobility car before but I’m thinking of getting one, I’m just wondering how long it takes to get one? I’ve heard it can take quite a while, I was hoping to get one before I need to pay for the insurance again ( I pay yearly) on my current car in May thanks

One of the Motability requirements is that the cars are all brand new. So this generally means you have to wait for one to be built and shipped over to the UK which often takes several months.
If you're lucky, you may find a car that's already part way through the build or shipping, which reduces that time. If you're very lucky, you might find a cancelled order which is sitting at a dealership ready to go within days.
As above, it depends entirely on the car and the dealerships in your area. The timescales are out of Motability's hands.1 -
I was lucky with my Mokka because when I went to the dealership in December they had one on cancelled order which was expected to be built and arrive at the showroom by the end of January which it did so Mine took roughly 7 weeks from order to delivery.
It all depends on which model you finally decide on and how long the manufacturer is currently taking to build and ship from the factory. If you are lucky they may have one in stock but this is rare nowadays. Overall your wait could normally be anything from 3 weeks to 6 months +
Depending on where you live and if you are prepared to travel there is a Vauxhall dealership in Gateshead that specialises in providing Motability customers with cars from stock which means your waiting time will be reduced down to days to get a car but you would need to be willing to travel to them if you wanted to do this
