The Motability Scheme

Since 1978, the Motability Scheme has helped over 600,000 people across the UK enjoy greater freedom by making new cars more accessible to those living with a disability. If you or a family member receives a qualifying mobility allowance, you could lease a brand-new car every three years - removing the hassle and extra costs that often come with owning and maintaining a vehicle long-term.

The Motability Scheme is a government-backed initiative that enables people with disabilities to lease a new car, scooter, or powered wheelchair using their mobility allowance. The scheme is run by Motability Operations Ltd on behalf of the Motability charity and is designed to make driving easier, more affordable, and stress-free.

Looking for a premium Motability vehicle? There are selected cars in the Volvo lineup that are available through the scheme. Volvo models are renowned for their cutting-edge safety technology, exceptional comfort, and practical design - making them a smart and stylish choice for your everyday driving needs. With high specifications as standard and a range of models to choose from, it's easier than ever to find the perfect Volvo to suit your lifestyle.
