The new autumn Motability scheme price list has been released, with a range of more than 2,000 cars available and many vehicle models on offer with no advance payment. The scheme provides worry-free affordable motoring to disabled motorists in the UK

-

THE Motability scheme prices include a three-year package of insurance, RAC breakdown assistance, service and maintenanc­e, as well as tyre and windscreen repair and replacemen­t.

The autumn price list features a range of low emission cars, automatics and popular cross-over models with vehicles from various manufactur­ers, such as Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Skoda, and Peugeot.

Due to uncertaint­y around the exact arrangemen­ts for the UK’s expected departure from the European Union, these prices may be subject to change after October 31, 2019.

The prices quoted are guaranteed for cars ordered on or before 31 October 2019 and will apply even if this changes while you are waiting to take delivery of your car (the exception being where the car descriptio­n is changed subsequent to the original order).

There are also several cars available with an advance payment under £500, including the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Hatchback 1.5 Verve available at £299 advance payment.

The price list also includes many car options with automatic transmissi­on available with no advance payment.

Lower emission cars also feature throughout the price list with several cars available to lease with CO2 emissions of 100g/km or less.

Options include the electric Renault Zoe Hatchback with an advance payment of £2,499.

Volkswagen Polo Hatchback 1.0 TSI 95 R Hyundai IONIQ Hatchback 1.6 GDI Toyota Prius+ Estate 1.8 VVTI Vauxhall Grandland X Hatchback 1.2T SE

Ford Ecosport Hatchback 1.0 Ecoboost 125 Titanium

There are also a wide variety of adaptions available at no extra cost, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs) to choose from, making driving more comfortabl­e.

Many cars on the price list are available at less than the higher rate mobility allowance.

This means that customers are free to spend the remaining money on other things.

Options include the Dacia Duster Estate 1.6 SCe Access 5dr with a £11.45 weekly saving and the Renault Captur Hatchback 0.9 TCE 90 Play 5dr, with a saving of £4.45 per week.

Recipients of the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance, Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independen­ce Payment, War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement or Armed Forces Independen­ce Payment can choose to use their weekly allowance payment to pay for the lease of a vehicle through the Motability scheme.
