Motability new 10,000-mile cap update as MPs prompt DWP response
MPs have raised concerns over the Motability scheme's new 10,000-mile cap, which will affect disabled people who lease vehicles. The change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
MPs have voiced concerns about the Motability scheme's new mileage allowance. The allowance will be reduced from 20,000 miles to 10,000 miles per year for new leases starting July 1, 2026. Disabled people who exceed the new limit will be charged 25p per mile. The change has sparked worries about the financial burden on disabled users, particularly those living in rural areas. The Motability Foundation has stated that approximately 75% of customers currently use fewer miles than the new allowance. The Department for Work and Pensions has been questioned about the impact of the change and potential exemptions for users with significant healthcare travel needs.
