My smart watch keeps telling me to get up and stretch.

There are two reasons that Motability includes “premium” brands:
1/ they are often the ones that meet the needs of the users with features like parking assistance for those who cannot see behind them
2/ the leases are often cheaper than non premium brands as their resale value is so much higher.
The effect of these changes might well be that Mobility actually costs the government MORE money 🤦‍♀️

Motability Scheme makes ambitious goal that half of Scheme vehicles leased from 2035 will be British built
Motability Scheme sets ambition for 50% of all vehicles leased to be British built from 2035  Scheme is a lifeline for disabled people and will now further support the UK economy  With government and industry support, ambitious commitment could create demand for 150,000 vehicles annually, boosting jobs and driving new investment  Premium brand vehicles, including Mercedes Benz and BMW, removed from the Scheme
