Best Motability cars of 2022

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
carwow price from
£215* / month (£17,452)
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.

hyundai i10

2. Hyundai i10

9/10
carwow price from
£162* / month (£12,547)
The cute little i10 has evolved into a very impressive small city car over the years. It’s easy to drive and is perfect for tight city streets. The boot is impressive for such a small car, although base models are a bit slow and sparsely equipped. Easily fixed by opting for a mid-range model.

volkswagen T-Cross

3. Volkswagen T-Cross

9/10
carwow price from
£192* / month (£21,280)
This little crossover is far more spacious than its dimensions might suggest, even the boot is generously sized. Equipment levels are good even in base trim, although some interior finishes feel a bit cheap, and it can get a bit loud on the motorway.

peugeot 2008

4. Peugeot 2008

9/10
carwow price from
£208* / month (£20,995)
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.

skoda Kamiq

5. Skoda Kamiq

8/10
carwow price from
£168* / month (£20,422)
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.

renault Zoe

6. Renualt Zoe

8/10
Battery range up to 245 miles
carwow price from
£297* / month
The Zoe EV offers a lot of tech and a very good range compared to most rivals, it’s also affordable to buy and run. The interior looks good too, aside from a few cheap-feeling trim pieces, and adults won’t want to squeeze in the small rear seats for too long.

vauxhall Corsa-e

7. Vauxhall Corsa-e

6/10
Battery range up to 222 miles
carwow price from
£316* / month (£26,887)
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.

toyota Yaris Hybrid

8. Toyota Yaris

7/10
carwow price from
£209* / month (£19,265)
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.

hyundai Tucson

9. Hyundai Tucson

7/10
carwow price from
£232* / month (£27,465)
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.

dacia Duster

10. Dacia Duster

6/10
carwow price from
£192* / month (£14,006)
Ditching the frills in favour of a solid and rugged design, the Duster majors on value for money and interior space. It offers a decent amount of kit, even if it’s not quite as tech laden as some rivals. What none offer though is the Duster’s grippy 4x4 drivetrain.

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.
