As one of Northern Ireland’s leading car dealerships, SERE Motors takes immense pride in its association with the Motability Scheme. With over 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, SERE Motors has a reputation for providing excellent customer service and offers a wide range of vehicles covered by the Motability scheme from KGM. 

The Motability scheme is a government-backed initiative which aims to help those with disabilities obtain a vehicle that is suitable for their individual needs. The core principle of Motability, is to provide eligible individuals with a cost-effective way to lease a vehicle using their mobility allowance. Not only does Motability cover the vehicle, it also looks after the individuals insurance, servicing and maintenance, allowing them to focus on what matters most - enjoying everyday freedom!

How the Motability Scheme Works

Enjoy more freedom and independence by exchanging your qualifying mobility allowance for a brand-new car through the Motability Scheme offered at SERE Motors.

JOINING THE SCHEME

As long as you receive a qualifying mobility allowance with at least 12 months left you can join the scheme. You can visit the Motability website to check if you’re eligible, and it only takes a couple of minutes.

CHOOSING YOUR VEHICLE

The Sales Executives at SERE Motors will help you decide which of our vehicles will suit you and your lifestyle best. Whether you want a small runabout or need a family estate, and we have electric cars available on the scheme as well. 

PAYMENT

Motability makes paying simple - they receive your payments directly from your allowance provider so you don’t have to think about it. How much you pay depends on the allowance you receive, and you may need to top this up with an Advance Payment, although we have a range of nil advance payment vehicles available. An Advance Payment is the amount which is due upfront for some vehicles and is a fixed amount which is confirmed when you order your car. If you’re new to the Motability Scheme, you can trade in your old car to help pay for your Advance Payment.

APPLICATION

Your dedicated Sales Executive at SERE Motors will work with you to apply for the Motability Scheme and order your new car. However, you can start the application online.

  • UK passport or driving license for the appointee or customer applying
  • National Insurance number (NINO) or Customer Reference Number (CRN) of the person receiving the allowance
  • Driving licenses for all named drivers and details of any claims history
  • Your driver declaration (if the driver is not there)
  • Your grant award letter (if applicable)
  • UK passport or driving license for the appointee or customer applying
  • National Insurance number (NINO) or Customer Reference Number (CRN) of the person receiving the allowance

RECEIVE YOUR NEW CAR

Once your car arrives with us, we will check everything’s ok and let you know when it’s ready to collect. To collect your new vehicle, you will need to bring a proof of identity (e.g. UK passport, driving license) for the customer or their appointee, the driving license (if another driver is collecting and driving the vehicle away), and the PIN sent by Motability (you can find this in your online account).
