Motability
It's easy with Motability! You choose the vehicle, we do the rest.
Motability is a national charity, set up on the initiative of the Government in 1977, to assist disabled people with their mobility needs. They direct and oversee the Motability Scheme which, enables disabled people to obtain a vehicle, powered wheelchair or scooter simply by using their government-funded mobility allowances.
No waiting lists. No credit checks. No assessments required.
At Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, we believe that going for a drive should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve partnered with Motability to offer some of our vehicles as part of their scheme.
Motability is the leading vehicle scheme for disabled people. They supply vehicles to over 460,000 motorists by exchanging their mobility allowance for a vehicle.
If you receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement, getting a new vehicle is easier and more affordable than ever. Through Motability, you simply turn part or all of your allowance into the vehicle of your choice. Many models come with £Nil advance payment.

- Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disabled Living Allowance (HRMC DLA)
- Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP)
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)

If you are the parent, guardian or carer of a child between the ages of three and 16 who receives the HRMC DLA, you could also be eligible to lease a vehicle.
