    yes done another brim test and worked out car was 24mpg . motability asked dealers about it and gave them details and evident (photo and receipt) of brim test. they gave motability conflicting storys on the meriva eg: big car small engine not to expect good mpg then saying the car would do the mpg claims by them if a professional driver uses the car. how ever motability have told me theres a big pattern emerging with the meriva with a lot of customers complaining over very poor mpg on the meriva, (wether that means they might in the future stop providing the meriva i dont know) motability decided to cancel the agreement and to order another car . which i have done and geting it on wednesday this week.
    Thats good. What car are you getting instead?

    Basically he is terminating his current contract with the car, which will be returned to Motabiity, he then orders another one.

    I didnt realise cars came from Motability
    I thought it was a 'purchase' via the dealers

    Motability buy the cars from the dealer, we use our DLA to pay for the 3 year lease. When the car goes back, Motability then either sell it straight back to the dealer or to an auction or to other garages. The money they make from selling the car goes straight back into the scheme.
