WHAT IS A WAV?
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV) are cars that have been converted to carry passengers traveling in their wheelchairs or for people who wish to drive from a wheelchair.
Used WAVs
These are WAVs that have been used by a previous owner, though most owners of WAVs do not drive up to 20,000 miles a year as allowed by the Motability Scheme. Used Motability cars are the best choice to make when wanting to save money because they are cheaper than new leased cars.
When buying a used WAV car, knowing the history of the car is important, it gives you a heads up as the potential buyer and the confidence that you’re making the right choice.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHILE BUYING YOUR USED WAV
Here are some important things you need to consider when you start looking for a used WAV:
Space: Is there enough space to get into and out of the WAV easily?
Ramp: Can you or your family operate the lift or ramp?
Ease of use: Does the layout of the vehicle allow free access for the wheelchair user?
Size: Are there enough seats in the vehicle for all the people that will travel in it?
Environment: is there enough space for you to park the vehicle at home?
