Eligibility

If you (or a family member or friend) currently receive either the Higher Mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, and you have at least 12 months of remaining benefit, then you are eligible to choose a brand new car through the Motability Scheme.

If your benefit is not renewed during the lease period on your chosen model, then you will have to return it when your allowance ends. It's also possible to apply on the behalf of a child aged three or older, as long as they are entitled to the Higher Mobility component of the DLA. There are no medical assessments for the scheme, and you can choose a vehicle straight away without being placed on a waiting list.

All vehicles are provided fully taxed and insured, and every manufacturer and dealer will offer you a reassuringly high level of cover.

To guarantee that your Motability Scheme car is perfect for you, the majority of adaptations can be made to the model at no extra charge. You can also name up to two drivers for your chosen car for free – another person nominated can drive the car if you don't want to or are unable to.

Whilst you remain on the scheme, you are guaranteed a brand new car every three years or a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) every five years, full breakdown assistance, and free repairs for your windscreen and tyres.

We understand at JOHN R FORD that sometimes the application process may seem daunting, so please allow us 20 minutes of your time at any of our sites to explain how we can take away any concerns. We aim to make it a stress-free experience for you.

Whichever lender we introduce you to, we will typically receive commission from them (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow).
