Motability is something else that needs major reform.
Why should you be given a car with free tax and insurance?
Why should it be replaced after only 4,500 miles?
As for your calculations on tax on fuel. Where do you get 35mpg from? My car is good for 45mpg. More if you sit at 60mph on the motorway.
I can agree, I think on the road tax on fuel.
The insurance on fuel is a daft idea. I could have as many crashes as I wanted and not have to worry about insurance. 17 year old lads could drive around in sports cars killing themselves and others.
The only nice thing about the whole idea is that I could have a car for each day of the week

Another confused statement by you. A condition of your insurance is that it is taxed and holds a current MOT. So no MOT means no insurance.
While we are talking about MOT's all cars should have one every year. This silly idea of not MOTing a new car for 3 years is stupid. You did 4,500 miles in 3 years. I was talking to a service engineer yesterday who does 90,000miles in 3 years.
90,000 miles with no MOT, daft isn't it?
