    You would need to contact Motability and discuss your issues.

    Sorry to hear that @lyndana, that must be really restrictive. As Kimi87 says, it's probably best you discuss this with Motability. They'd be the best people to know whether you can exchange it for something with fewer issues.

    Hope you can get it sorted soon. Welcome to the community, by the way! ☺️

    I spoke to Motability about changing my car early as it is not fit for purpose and they agreed, I just have to pay £250 for an early termination fee and I can still change to a different car once, but after that I have to wait until the end of the lease.

    I have to say, I am not impressed with the dealer or the service I have received from them, so I am hoping to get my next car from a different dealer.

    Have you considered the Inster 02, it is nil advance payment.
