Best Motability cars of 2023

Motability allows people with reduced mobility to get behind the wheel of a vehicle at very favourable leasing rates. There are thousands of vehicles available on the Motability Scheme, making it a daunting task to pick the right one for your needs. To simplify things, our expert carwow team have narrowed this down to a far more manageable 10 choices for you to pick from.

Peugeot 208

1. Peugeot 208

9/10
Peugeot 208 review
Small city cars don’t need to look bland; the Peugeot 208 is ample proof of that. The interior is just as striking, and only a slightly unintuitive infotainment screen and tight rear legroom mar an otherwise great cabin. An optional eight-speed automatic gearbox helps take the stress out of city driving.
Dacia Jogger

2. Dacia Jogger

9/10
Dacia Jogger review
If you want to know how good the Jogger is, just look at its highly coveted 9/10 score. We don’t give those out too often, and this is a budget-friendly brand. It represents fantastic value for money, but on top of that it’s also comfortable, hugely practical, and surprisingly nice inside for a car at this price point.
Peugeot 2008

3. Peugeot 2008

9/10
Peugeot 2008 review
If you want a stylish little crossover with an equally snazzy interior, the Peugeot 2008 is just the thing. It offers low running costs and a fun driving experience, although the diesel engine is a bit unrefined, and the rear seats are tight for adults. There's also an electric version that offers punchy performance and all the same style.
Volkswagen Taigo

4. Volkswagen Taigo

8/10
Volkswagen Taigo review
You can’t really go wrong with a Volkswagen, and the Taigo is another good example of this. One of the manufacturer’s vast line-up of SUVs, you get lots of equipment regardless of trim level, and it feels compact and composed on the move. It’s not particularly fun when the road gets twisty, though.
Skoda Kamiq

5. Skoda Kamiq

8/10
Skoda Kamiq review
This practical little crossover may not have the most stylish looks or offer the most engaging driving experience, but it majors on practicality, comfort and cabin space. Standard equipment levels are decent, too, although the fancier infotainment system costs extra.
Kia Sportage

6. Kia Sportage

8/10
Kia Sportage review
The latest Kia Sportage takes all the boring family car practicalities, like a spacious cabin and easy driving experience, and wraps them up in a smart and stylish exterior that’s genuinely striking to look at. There’s also plenty of tech on-board and a smooth hybrid powertrain option that offers low running costs.
Nissan Leaf

7. Nissan Leaf

8/10
Nissan Leaf review
Battery range up to 239 miles
Beneath those slightly challenging exterior looks, the Tucson offers up a hi-tech interior finished in quality materials and a massive boot. There’s plenty of advanced kit as standard and an impressive range of engines. It can feel a bit firm on rougher roads, though.
Hyundai Bayon

8. Hyundai Bayon

7/10
Hyundai Bayon review
Hyundai has been building some solid cars in recent years, with stylish exteriors, well-built cabins and an excellent warranty for extra peace of mind. The Bayon is a relatively new addition to the line-up but continues this run of form by being excellent to drive around town with lots of standard equipment.
Toyota Yaris Hybrid

9. Toyota Yaris

7/10
Toyota Yaris Hybrid review
The Yaris offers a decent level of equipment and is enjoyable to drive, while the hybrid engine keeps running costs low. It does get a bit loud under hard acceleration and we would stick to the smaller wheels to keep the ride comfortable. Rear passenger and boot space is compromised compared to rivals, though.
Vauxhall Corsa Electric

10. Vauxhall Corsa-e

6/10
Vauxhall Corsa Electric review
Battery range up to 222 miles
This little EV looks sharp, has plenty of kit as standard and the range should be enough for most. Some rivals do offer more interior space for rear passengers and a more adventurous cabin design. It’s fun to drive, though and the boot is no smaller than in a regular Corsa.

Advice about Motability cars

Motability cars FAQs

The Motability Scheme enables people in receipt of a higher rate mobility allowance to lease a car.

You can check your eligibility by completing our Motability Scheme eligibility survey.

Alternatively, you can visit the Motability Scheme website for information on pricing.

The Motability Scheme is designed to make the process as simple as possible for its customers, bundling insurance, breakdown cover and servicing costs all into one agreement. This means you only pay for the car’s petrol. Lease payments are made directly from the relevant benefits agency (DWP or Veterans UK). To make sure you always get the most from your allowance, prices are negotiated and updated every three months.

Anyone who is in receipt of one of the following higher rate mobility allowances can apply to join the Motability Scheme – Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS) or the Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP). Parents or guardians can apply on behalf of a child under 16. You just need to have at least 12 months remaining on your award to apply.

The choice through the Motability Scheme is huge – around 2,000 different models are available to lease. They include anything from small city cars to vans specially adapted to provide access for wheelchair users, called Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs). Even sports cars are available! Petrol and diesel options are widespread and there’s a selection of electric and hybrids for the eco-conscious drivers.

When you place the order for a car through the Motability Scheme, it will take a couple of days to process the application and check a few details. The timescales for the car itself can vary depending on the manufacturer and model you have chosen, but the dealer should inform you of the timescales, and any expected delays, when you place the order.

First, you go to the Motability website and use its Car Search tool to find the perfect car or WAV.

When you find the right one for you, click on “Find a dealer” to locate and contact your nearest dealer and arrange a test drive. (Don’t forget to take your driving license, proof of address and certificate of your award with you!)

After the test drive, you can then order your car.

The Motability Scheme covers your car or WAV for “social, domestic and pleasure purposes”. Basically, this means you can use the car for personal purposes and commuting to and from one workplace.

If you work in a few different places or need to drive about to visit customers or employees, you should contact RSA Motability and ask about covering your car for business use.
