✔ Full Service & Warranty – At Sirus Mobility, our approved used cars are thoroughly inspected and include 2-3 year RAC warranty for peace of mind.

Financing Options for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
The cost of a WAV depends on several factors, including the make and model, whether you opt for a new or Approved Used wheelchair accessible vehicle and what adaptations you require.
✔ The Motability Scheme – If you receive a qualifying mobility allowance (higher rate DLA or PIP), you may be eligible to lease a WAV through the Motability Scheme, covering insurance, servicing, and maintenance.
✔ The Motability Charitable Grants Scheme – Many of our customers apply to Motability Charitable Grants. The Motability Scheme-Related Grant Programmes provide financial support to disabled people who want to join the Motability Scheme but who need help with the cost of Advance Payments and adaptations. Find out more about Motability Grants.
Considering Long-Term Maintenance Costs
In addition to the purchase price, it’s important to budget for maintenance and running costs:
✔ Insurance – WAV insurance may differ from standard car policies, so compare quotes carefully. Speak to specialist WAV Insurer, Fish Insurance.
✔ Fuel Efficiency – Check the MPG rating of different models to keep fuel costs manageable.
✔ Servicing & Repairs – All Approved Used and new wheelchair accessible vehicles from Sirus include warranty and service packages. Ensure this is included from your WAV supplier.
