Episode Details

Motability just dropped a major mileage change in July—anyone driving over 10,000 miles a year now faces a 25p charge per mile, down from the old 20,000-mile cap. But rural drivers get a lifeline: an extra 3,000 miles annually if your postcode qualifies based on travel distance to essentials like clinics and schools. MP Sorcha Eastwood pushed for broader access, but DWP clarified they’re not in charge—Motability Operations, the independent charity running the scheme, sets the rules and uses government data to identify eligible areas. They’re already contacting qualifying customers, and while most drivers are under the new limit, those with genuine needs for healthcare, work, or education can apply for extra miles with documented proof.
