Many disabled who qualify for a motability vehicle would probably not be able to get insurance if they leased or bought a vehicle elsewhere.

As for the vehicle being taxpayer-funded, it is of course, but the same benefit could also be used to pay for taxis if they were unable to use buses or trains, or were indeed unable to drive or have someone to drive them.

The upgrades cost can be quite small, in the hundreds, but for certain disabilities the cost can be quite high to match the vehicle to their needs.
