One individual showed off they were “driving in style” behind the wheel of three models.
They had used taxpayer benefit money to get the keys to a gorgeous £37,000 Skoda Karoq, £30,000 Nissan Qashqai and £29,000 Kia Sportage.
Helen Whately, The Conservative’s shadow work and pensions secretary, stressed the scheme had now gotten “out of hand”.
She said: “The Motability scheme is a textbook example of a well-intentioned idea that has got way out of hand.
“It is symptomatic of the country’s spiralling welfare costs which Labour are failing to grasp.
“This week the Government had an opportunity to step up on welfare, but they failed. Their announcement fell short on savings but has left disabled people terrified.”
Individuals claiming the enhanced level of “mobility” PIP can exchange it for a Motability car worth 12 times the amount of the benefit. The most expensive cars available for drivers are on the market for up to £54,000.
These include luxury models such as the BMW i4, BMW iX1 SUV and Ford Mustang Mach-E. A £36,000 Abarth 600e and £33,000 Audi Q3 are also available if motorists qualify.
The Motability website claims individuals can choose the “latest car with the latest tech.”
They also offer electric vehicles with some available with battery ranges of over 250 miles.
Motability even promises to “arrange and cover the cost of a home chargepoint and a standard installation” which would set working families back hundreds of pounds.
Citizens Advice explained: “If you receive a benefit because you have a disability or illness that makes it hard for you to get around, you can use it to pay for a vehicle from a charity called Motability. You can choose from lots of different vehicles, for example cars, mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs.”
