UK considers limiting luxury cars in disability vehicle scheme to cut costs and boost fairness.

The UK government is reviewing the Motability scheme, which lets disabled people with higher-rate PIP lease new vehicles, amid concerns over taxpayer spending and perceived fairness. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander supports restricting access to luxury cars like Mercedes and BMWs to ensure value for money, while Chancellor Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering limiting premium vehicles, insurance, and breakdown cover to restore public trust. The changes, expected in the upcoming Budget, aim to balance fiscal responsibility with support for genuine mobility needs, though critics warn they could increase costs and limit independence for low-income disabled people. No final decisions have been made.
