No, you have to be a wheelchair user


From DirectGov web site:

Motor vehicles for disabled people

If you're disabled, you may not have to pay VAT on having a vehicle adapted to suit your condition, or on the lease of a Motability vehicle.
If you're a disabled wheelchair or stretcher user, you may not have to pay VAT if you buy a specially adapted vehicle for your personal or domestic use.

Not every vehicle or adaptation will qualify for the relief. There are also strict definitions for terms like 'wheelchair user' that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) use to decide who can get the relief.
Your supplier will be able to advise you on a vehicle or adaptation that qualifies for the relief. They'll also give you a declaration to fill in and sign, which you'll have to give back to them for their records.

I have bought 4 new cars and you have to be a wheelchair user and the car must be adapted for you before delivery, the previous poster gives you a link and brief discription of the rules.

Thanks,sorry, if you read the first sentence it looks like you just have to be disabled.
I was hoping to investigate this, but now it looks like I would have to pay VAT, so I might think about a Mobility car instead.

I copied it from the Direct Gov Web Site.

You have to be a wheelchair user & the car has to be adapted for the wheelchair user to be able to enter/leave, ride in or drive the car.

The full rules and forms are on the HMRC link I posted, it explains the rules as to what they class a wheelchair user is and the type of adaption.

The car has to be bought with the adaption already fitted and the invoice has to show these adaption, the invoice will be excluding VAT. The garage will pay for the adaptions and they won't be charged the VAT on that car.

The car doesn't have to be new, it has to still be VAT liable, therefore a demo or pre-reg can still be bought this way.

My last 12 cars have been bought this way.
