Information For Carers

Who Qualifies?

If you are a carer for someone that qualifies for the Motability Scheme and you have been selected to be their nominee or appointee then you could get a car on their behalf. These positions are selected by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) or Veterans UK.

What could I receive?

If you are selected to be either the nominee or the appointee you could receive a car through the Motability Scheme along with the added benefits of being on the scheme.

What benefits are there?

As well as receiving a brand new Ford car every 3 years (providing you still qualify for the scheme) you will receive insurance, vehicle servicing, maintenance, full RAC breakdown cover, tyre and windscreen replacement as well as 20,000 miles a year mileage allowance.

What is an appointee?

An appointee plays a large role in a disabled person’s life and performs a number of tasks for them including the collection of state benefits. There is no criteria for the age limit of these people however you may find that most children under the age of 16 will have an appointee taking care of them.

What is a nominee?

It is important to note that a nominee has no legal rights and all agreements are in the customer’s name. The nominee is not allowed to dictate how the Motability allowance is spent but is allowed to speak on their behalf.

Financial Disclosure

Mistsolar Limited T/A Bridgend Ford is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Mistsolar Limited T/A Bridgend Ford to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Ford Credit. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Ford Credit who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Ford Credit also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
