At Forest Gate Group, we’re delighted and proud to be able to offer full support to the nationwide Motability Scheme, which helps thousands of disabled people enjoy greater independence and freedom.
Provided you’re in receipt of one of the following mobility allowances (and it has 12 months remaining on it), you’ll qualify for Motability:
- Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
If you’re eligible for the scheme, you’ll be able to select one of several great Ford cars, such as the Fiesta, Focus, Puma or Kuga.
As well as the use of a brand-new Ford, you’ll enjoy plenty more Motability benefits. For instance, you can stipulate certain adaptations that will make your vehicle simpler to access, drive or store a wheelchair or mobility scooter.
Such modifications include the fitting of a steering ball, which requires the use of one hand. Access can be made easier with, for example, a transfer plate or hoist. In terms of stowage, a winch system can be installed that will help with the loading of heavy and/or awkwardly sized items.
That’s not all, leasing a Ford Motability vehicle includes the following:
- RSA Motability insurance (which allows you to add up to three named drivers)
- Full RAC breakdown assistance
- Servicing, repairs and MOTs
- Tyre replacements
- Windscreen repair or replacement
- 60,000-mile allowance (three-year lease) or 100,000 miles (five-year term)
Furthermore, Ford Motability with Forest Gate lets you select a brand-new Ford at the end of each lease, ensuring you’re always up to date.
