Costs and tax
Motability says it has absorbed most rising costs, although some Advance Payments may be higher. The provider attributes changes partly to the industry’s shift toward electric vehicles and UK tax changes applying VAT and Insurance Premium Tax to most leases. New-car prices include 20% VAT, while qualifying Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles are shown with 0% VAT.
What new leases include
Orders placed from 1 July 2026 retain the Scheme’s all-inclusive lease package, which covers insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover. The changes apply to new orders, not existing leases. However, the provider says they do not apply from that date to customers receiving their allowance from Social Security Scotland; Motability will contact those customers after agreeing arrangements with the Scottish Government.
Vehicle choices and timing
Motability highlights more than 30 vehicles with no Advance Payment and names the Nissan Juke and Kia Sportage among affordable SUV options. It says prices are valid for eligible applications made from 1 July to 30 September 2026, but may change, while delivery times and availability vary. The next price list is due on 1 October 2026.
