Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

Maun Motors offer a varied range of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles - often abbreviated as WAVs -  for sale, suitable for both private and business use.

We are also able to assist in providing finance for wheelchair adapted vehicles, through our partners at Southern WAV Finance.  It is possible to use your Personal Independence Payment (or PIP - formerly DLA or Disability Living Allowance) as either part or full monthly payment.  It's even possible to combine multiple people's allowances to fund the purchase of a single vehicle.  If, for example, more than one member of your family is entitled to PIP and you are purchasing a vehicle for them, or if you work in a care home or nursing home, where several residents receive PIP, they can pool together to purchase a WAV.

Wheelchair Adapted Vehicle Finance

Did you know that we are able to provide finance for wheelchair accessible vehicles through Southern Finance?

They specialise in providing funding for the purchase of vehicles adapted for wheelchairs and your Personal Independence Allowance, or PIA (formerly known as Disability Living Allowance, or DLA) can be used as part or total monthly payment for an accessible vehicle.  Southern Finance can even combine the allowances of several people (e.g. more than one person in a household entitled to PIA, or multiple residents in a residential home combining their PIA allowances to purchase a vehicle) to make it possible to purchase a newer and/or higher-priced vehicle!
