We initially went to MLV mobility for a power chair and we will always use them for all our mobility needs. We have purchased two chairs from Ant and his team who were brilliant at helping us through the process (we're very new to needed mobility aids).
When we had issues with our battery it was fixed within 24hours of taking it in.
I've also purchased a manual chair for my grandma and he even threw in a handy bag as a thank you for my continued custom. We need more independent businesses like this!!

Frequently Asked Questions
You are eligible if you receive a qualifying mobility allowance with at least 12 months remaining. This includes the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of PIP, the Higher Rate Mobility Component of DLA, the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS), or the Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP).
No. Leasing a mobility scooter only uses a small portion of your allowance (typically starting around £20 per week). The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will continue to pay the remaining balance, and all your other benefits, directly into your bank account.
No. You do not need a driving licence, DVLA registration, or a medical assessment to lease a scooter on the scheme. We provide all the necessary training during your home handover.
All repairs, call-outs, and parts are fully covered. Because we are your local dealer, the MLV Mobility engineering team will come directly to your home in Nottinghamshire or South Yorkshire to fix the issue or recover the scooter.
Yes. Because most of our Motability models require a £0 upfront payment, we can offer a cash valuation for your old scooter, or you can trade it in for premium accessories like a weather canopy or upgraded storage bags.
You have a formal 8-day cooling-off period from the day your lease begins. If you decide the scooter isn't right for you within those first 8 days, you can return it to us completely free of charge. After this period, it may still be possible to end the agreement early, but Motability may apply an administration fee.
No. The vast majority of our Motability scooters are available with a £0 Advance Payment. You simply exchange a portion of your weekly mobility allowance. There are no credit checks, no deposits, and absolutely no surprise bills for maintenance or repairs during your 3-year lease.
We operate from our Vulcan Place showroom in Worksop and cover a wide surrounding area for free home demonstrations and rapid call-outs. This includes Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, and the surrounding market towns like Newark and Gainsborough.
