GETTING A CAR ON MOTABILITY - STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1. Before you visit us

If you are awarded the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of PiP or the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance you may be eligible to join the Motability Scheme. If this is the case, Bridgend Ford can offer you a wide range of award-winning vehicles that you lease through the scheme.

2. When you visit

You will need to bring with you a copy of the award notice, address confirmation (gas or electric bill) and driving licenses for those that will be nominated to drive.

3. Choose your vehicle

When choosing a new vehicle, there is a lot to consider, including cost, suitability and fuel consumption. We know that everybody is different so to make it easier to find a vehicle that meets your needs we have a team of highly trained specialists whose job it is to find you that special new car.

4. Vehicle Suitability

We understand that some customers require specialist aids to help them so we have a long-standing relationship with several Motability Adaption Centres that can customise our vehicles to suit your needs.

5. Order your vehicle

Once you have decided which vehicle is right for you, your Motability specialist will complete your order with you using our simple online system that is done within our relaxed showroom. Motability will then send you an acceptance letter containing your Personal Identification Number (keep this safe as you need it to collect your vehicle).

6. Get your vehicle

While you’re making your final decision we will take a look at the delivery times. We may have to wait for certain cars while others we will have in stock and you can be driving it in a matter of days.

7. Help and support

We have chosen the very best people to work for us which means you are in the best possible hands. If you have any questions about your car or the scheme feel free to call your Motability Specialist or pop in for a cup of coffee and a chat.

8. No need to worry

As part of the Motability Scheme you will receive a Servicing and Maintenance from Bridgend Ford so you don't need to worry about the well-being of your new car. If things do go wrong, you will be helped by the RAC to keep you moving on your journey. All of this is included in the Motability package at no extra cost to you.

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.
