Eligibility and Application Process

In this section, we will explore and help you understand if you qualify for the Motability Scheme and assess the application process so that you have all the information you need to make the process as simple as it can be.

Can I join the Scheme on Attendance Allowance?

You cannot join the Motability Scheme if you receive an Attendance Allowance. The scheme is exclusively available to individuals who receive certain disability-related mobility allowances.

Only individuals with qualifying mobility-related allowances can join the Motability Scheme. Attendance Allowance does not meet these criteria, as it is focused on personal care, not mobility support.

Why Attendance Allowance Does Not Qualify

Eligibility Restrictions: Attendance Allowance supports individuals over State Pension age with personal care needs but does not include a mobility component.


Allowance Purpose: Attendance Allowance is designed for care-related costs and supervision, not for mobility-focused support.


Scheme Requirements: The Motability Scheme relies on specific mobility-related allowances to fund vehicle leases, which Attendance Allowance does not provide.


What paperwork do I need to get a Motability car?

To lease a Motability car, you must provide specific documents that verify your eligibility and identity. These documents are essential to completing your application and receiving your vehicle. Below is a detailed list of the paperwork required. The required paperwork includes proof of eligibility, valid identification, and additional documents based on your circumstances. Ensuring you have these ready simplifies the process and ensures timely delivery of your Motability car. The type of identification documents that would be suitable would be photo identification such as a driving licence or passport. Other proof of identification such as proof of address would be required also, and these could include any of the following - a recent council tax bill or bank statement which is dated within the last 6 months.

How long is the wait for a Motability car 2025?

The waiting time for a Motability car in 2025 varies depending on several factors, such as the manufacturer, model, and supply chain conditions. On average, delivery can take 6 to 12 weeks, but some cases may require more time due to specific challenges in the automotive market.
