Motability new 10,000-mile limit big update as DWP says 'change to be made'
The UK's Department for Work and Pensions has announced that Motability is considering changing its new 10,000-mile limit for leased cars after concerns were raised by MPs about the impact on disabled users. Motability will introduce an exceptions process for limited situations and make an update before July 1, 2026.
The Motability scheme is set to change its mileage limit from 20,000 miles to 10,000 miles per year for new leases starting July 1, 2026. MPs have raised concerns that this change will impact disabled users who need to travel long distances for health appointments or work. The Department for Work and Pensions has stated that Motability is considering mitigating the reduction in mileage allowance in some circumstances. Motability will introduce an exceptions process for very limited situations. Approximately 75% of customers on the Scheme already use less than the proposed new mileage allowance. The scheme will also introduce telematics technology to monitor driving behavior, with drivers receiving feedback on their driving and potentially being removed from the Scheme if they continue to drive dangerously.
