That's not quite true as already stated in the posts above. If there is fraud then it is for DLA/PIP. But the OP doesn't want to talk about DLA/PIP only 'Motability benefit'.
There's been numerous posts about DLA/PIP/ESA here but for some reason that seems irrelevant or off topic because the OP doesn't understand the subject he's attacking. Yet they have everything to do with it.
As for yourself stating that you think others find it 'acceptable and not defrauding the system' is also missing the point. No one here thinks it is acceptable on any level and why you think that is the case is beyond me.
If you decide to accept (not claim) motability you have to be award DLA/PIP (the high rate mobility allowance). To be awarded this isn't because of whatever the illness or disability you have but based on what your needs/care are because of the illness/disability. Therefore you can even claim these benefits even if you are in work or fit enough to work.
ESA is the only benefit that is about being able to work or not. This has nothing to do with Motability.
