Yes i read the link ,it is quite simply an article about a woman suspected of falsely claiming disability benefits.It has absolutely nothing to do with Motability.The Daily Mail have simply used the Motability angle to create a slightly different way to attack anyone on benefits .
The lack of understanding of how Motability works both in the article and in your OP is quite simply breathtaking
Here's an example from the article
Quote:

that this Astra comes with free servicing, breakdown cover and insurance

It does not in any way come with free servicing ,breakdown cover or insurance ,all are added to the lease agreements cost as are special requirements ,road tax,tyres and windscreens ,all are added to the cost of the agreement by the owner of the vehicle which is the lease company not the driver.
After 3 yrs the vehicle is then returned to the lease company who will charge (at a very high rate ) for damage or extra mileage above the agreed limit,this also applies to people who have been reassessed unsuccessfully in the middle of a hire period ,they will not be allowed to take out a lease agreement for a car ,scooter or any other mobility aid
The article then continues to cite examples of more "Motability fraud" which upon reading are simply cases of benefit fraud and nothing to do Motability ,the people have simply used their benefits to buy a Motability agreement in the same way thousands of other fraudsters use their ill gotten gains to buy things they could not normally afford .
Maybe in your next post you will apologise to the Kwik Fit fitters you suggested in your op where aiding in the fraud.
