What are the benefits of the Motability Scheme? What does it include?

The Motability Scheme gives you a lease on a brand-new car in exchange for your mobility allowance. It also includes: Insurance Tax Servicing & Maintenance RAC breakdown cover Windscreen & tyre replacements Up to three named drivers 60,000 mileage allowance Many free adaptations Eligible claimants swap their weekly mobility allowance in exchange for a lease on a brand-new car of their choice. You drive the car for three years (or you can extend it to five years) with everything you need included in the price. All you need to add is fuel!

Who is eligible for Motability and how do I apply?

To be eligible for the Motability Scheme, you must receive one of the following allowances with at least 12 months of payments remaining: Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA) Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP) War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS) Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP) Enhanced rate mobility part of Adult Disability Payment (Scotland) Higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment (Scotland) If you have less than 12 months, you’ll have to wait until your allowance is renewed. You can’t apply if you receive a lower rate of mobility allowance. You can’t apply if you receive DLA and have been instructed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to apply for PIP (this won’t affect you if you already have a Motability vehicle.) Parents of children over the age of three and non-drivers can apply, but the vehicle has to be used for the benefit of the claimant. Just get in touch with your local #brandName# dealership and we'll start the application process for you.

How much does the Motability scheme cost?

You pay for the Motability scheme by trading your weekly mobility allowance. The weekly price depends on the brand, model, trim level, engine and transmission type. With some vehicles, you’ll have some money leftover in your weekly mobility allowance whilst others take the full amount. Some cars will have an Advance Payment you have to pay first. You'll also find plenty of Motability cars with a £0 Advance Payment.

What Is Motability Advance Payment and why is it needed?

The Advance Payment is an upfront cost that you need to pay for certain cars. This can be anywhere from £50 to £5,000 and over. The Advance Payment allows the Motability scheme to offer higher spec cars, but you still get an amazing deal even if there is a higher Advance Payment. It’s a one-off, non-refundable payment that allows the scheme to provide more expensive models at an affordable price. All Advance Payment prices are agreed between the car manufacturers and the Motability Scheme. The cost is worked out based on the price of the car, future costs of servicing and maintenance and the resale value at the end of the lease. You can reduce your Advance Payment at Pentagon by bringing your privately-owned car in as a part exchange. You could also choose a car with a low or £0 Advance Payment to keep costs down.

What are Motability adaptations and how do they work?

You can get access, stowage and driving control adaptations to make your car more comfortable to drive. Many are completely free whilst some you have to pay for (but you may be eligible for a grant to help with the cost). All adaptation work is carried out by Motability-approved installers. Certain cars aren't compatible with certain adaptations. That's why it's important to speak to us about any adaptation you need during the application process so we can best advise you on what to do.

How does Motability servicing work?

Servicing and maintenance are included with the car so you don't have to pay anything extra. As you're driving a new car it's important to keep to your service schedule as this maintains its warranty. Our friendly servicing team will get in touch when it's time to book in any routine servicing and maintenance. If you have a five-year lease you'll also need to get an MOT in years 4 and 5. We'll also contact you to arrange this.

Pentagon Scunthorpe Celebrate Motability Win

Motability customers in Scunthorpe and the surrounding area can be sure of receiving outstanding customer service from a local dealer, Pentagon as they celebrate winning a regional award for their work with the Motability Car Scheme. The accolade is part of a programme of awards to reward local Motability dealerships that provide outstanding customer service in their area.

The Dealer Awards programme is designed to ensure all Motability customers receive exemplary customer service across the dealer network. The awards are judged on how a dealer delivers the Scheme to customers, which is assessed by customer feedback and reviews of their Motability performance.

Peter Wilson, General Manager – Dealer Relations at Motability Operations, explains:

“As the ‘shop-front’ of the Motability Scheme and in many cases, the first contact point for our customers, the focus of these awards is to thank our dealer partners for providing an ongoing positive customer service experience. Our customers continually rate the service they receive at the dealership highly but there’s always room for improvement and opportunities to learn from those who are doing it really well, like Pentagon. Many congratulations to them on their award win”.

Celebrating their Motability Dealer Award win, Matthew Jowitt, General Manager from Pentagon, said:

“We are pleased and proud to win this Motability Dealer Award. Motability is renowned for its high standards and Pentagon is thrilled to be recognised for our dedication to working in partnership with Motability. We look forward to continuing our award-winning approach to business and customer service and hope to do well in the upcoming annual awards.”

Anyone who receives the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance, the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement can exchange the weekly payment to lease a new car through Motability. Insurance, servicing, RAC breakdown assistance and replacement tyres are included in the cost of the lease.
