Motability

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 11 December 2025UIN 97378

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether any new vehicle leases on the Motability Scheme will not increase in cost for the end user from July 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.
