Motability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much new leases for Motability vehicles will increase in end user cost from July 2026 as a result of the Autumn Budget 2026.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are protecting the taxpayer through changes to the Motability scheme, ensuring it supports disabled people whilst delivering efficient use of taxpayers’ money.
There will still be cars available through the scheme which require no advance payment. This means that customers will still be able to lease a car just with their qualifying disability benefit.
Any change in costs of advance payments will depend on a range of factors, including the make and model of the car, and be determined by Motability.
