How many miles am I allowed to do?
The mileage allowance is 60,000 miles over a 3 year agreement. Any additional miles will be charged at a cost of 5p per mile. For 5 year agreements, the mileage limit is 100,000 miles.
If I'm over 65, can I still join the Motability Scheme?
You can apply to join the Motability Scheme if you are aged 65 and over and you receive one of the following allowances:
Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
You must have at least 12 months remaining on your allowance when you join the Scheme. Unfortunately, the Attendance Allowance cannot be used to lease a car through the Motability Scheme.
Young drivers
To ensure the Motability Scheme is affordable for all, drivers under 25 may only drive cars with an ABI Insurance Group of 16 or lower and with a power output of 120 brakehorse power (BHP) or less (this does not apply to Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles). In addition, only one named driver under 21 is permitted – this could be the disabled customer, or another driver living at the same address.
