You can now use your New Vehicle Payment to help towards your Advance Payment

Motability introduced the New Vehicle Payment last year to help with the rising costs of getting a new vehicle on the Motability Scheme. On 1 March 2023, Motability increased this payment to £750.

Now, Motability are giving you the option to send your New Vehicle Payment directly to Drayton Motors, to help towards the cost of your Advance Payment on a new Kia or Suzuki. 

This is instead of getting the New Vehicle Payment a few weeks after you’ve picked up your new vehicle and already paid your Advance Payment.

We hope that giving you this option will make it easier for you to order your next vehicle on the Scheme.

Find out if you’re eligible to receive our New Vehicle Payment by answering a few simple questions

How it works

If you’re eligible for the New Vehicle Payment, you can now choose for this to be sent directly to Drayton Motors to help towards the cost of some, or all, of your Advance Payment.

Your local Drayton Motors dealer will ask if you’d like to do this when you’re ordering your new car or WAV.

If you choose to send your New Vehicle Payment to Drayton Motors, we’ll arrange this for you before your new car is ready, so you do not need to do anything.

We’ll also confirm this in the letter we send to you once your order has been accepted.

If your Advance Payment is more than £750

You’ll need to pay the difference between the New Vehicle Payment and your Advance Payment to Drayton Motors when you get your new vehicle.

For example, if you order a vehicle with a £1000 Advance Payment and choose to send your New Vehicle Payment to your dealer, you’d have £250 left to pay when you get your new vehicle.

If your Advance Payment is less than £750

We’ll send the difference to you within a week or two of you getting your new vehicle.

For example, if you order a vehicle with a £500 Advance Payment and choose to send your New Vehicle Payment to your dealer, we’ll send the remaining £250 to you within a week or so of you getting your new vehicle.

We’ll send this by bank transfer if you’ve saved your bank details in your Motability Scheme online account. If not, we’ll send a cheque.
