Motability drops luxury cars

The Volvo EX30 Twin Motor does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and is still available on Motability with a downpayment of £5599.

That's Superbike levels of acceleration, totally unnecessary on the scheme.

so tell me this please someone. Is it cheaper to lease a Motability vehicle. What are the advantages
0 -
All inclusive package, meaning no need to replace tyres, pay for servicing, breakdown cover and insurance, any replacement parts.

Yes, it's much cheaper than leasing the same vehicle through other avenues.
Motability buy massive amounts of new cars so they get a better discount from manufacturers than other leasing companies.
And as above, the driver doesn't have to pay for anything other than fuel for the entire duration of the lease. Insurance, breakdown and servicing is all included. (As is road tax - but Enhanced Mobility PIP makes that free on private cars as well).
When I failed to secure Enhanced Mobility myself, I had to look into finance and leasing privately. I couldn't get the car I needed for anywhere near the same monthly cost as on the Motability scheme.

Also - as a disabled user - we pay 0% vat on the item or labour (for servicing)

That's interesting, I didn't realise that applied to vehicle servicing. I ended up returning my private lease car at 2 years old because it was due it's first service. I couldn't drive it at all by that point and the dealership wouldn't come to collect it so I ended up part exchanging it for an older used car, using the equity left in it plus a bit more savings. I haven't been able to drive this one either, but at least I'm not stuck in a finance scheme needing dealership servicing now.

maybe I must look into this. It is not about the vehicle but the adaptations that I could do with. Not sure if I can get them for free on a non Motability vehicle

Sorry - but this won't be available
You can't get adaptions on your own vehicle for free on Motability
1 -
That's the main reason that they can do them comparatively cheaply - they don't pay VAT and thus don't charge VAT

I have recently paid £1,500 for a brake accelerator adaptation on my own vehicle. Not sure how much it will cost me for it to be removed at a later date.
