Motability Scheme Live: What to expect at our upcoming events

Over 7,000 of you joined us at Motability Scheme Live in Birmingham. Now we’re getting ready to welcome even more visitors this summer at our Harrogate and Northern Ireland events.

Here’s what’s coming up and how to make the most of your visit. 


A brilliant start to our new Motability Scheme Live 2025 events  

We kicked off the year with two packed days at the NEC in May. Visitors saw over 80 vehicles on display, including electric cars, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), scooters and powered wheelchairs

There were over 450 test drives, and the Team BRIT racing simulator gave people the chance to experience motorsport up close. Many visitors also downloaded the event app to help them plan their day and get around the venue more easily. 

One visitor said: “I saw everything I wanted to and more.” Another told us: “By attending, I got to check which cars suited my needs and budget. I left knowing exactly what I wanted to order.” 

We also introduced a new showcase comparing WAVs and cars with adaptations. It helped visitors see what would work best for them and it’s coming to all our remaining events this year.
