‘To take the top spot in this award, Vauxhall has worked with Motability Operations to offer 14% of cars on the Motability Scheme with no advance payment, including models of all sizes,’ said Motability’s judges.

Vauxhall’s commitment to providing a wide breadth of models benefiting from low emissions and an almost 50% increase in applications was also noted.

New Meriva also received special mention for its flexibility of seating and doors.

Mark Wheeler, head of manufacturer and dealer relations, Motability Operations, said: ‘As twice previous winners of this award, Vauxhall has once again showcased its firm support of Motability with clear evidence that customer needs are at the heart of all decisions.’

Steve Catlin, fleet marketing and Motability manager, Vauxhall Motors, added: ‘It’s an honour to be recognised by such a large fleet organisation that does so much good work to assist those with limited mobility.

‘Winning the “Manufacturer Partner” award is also a great reward to all Vauxhall employees who have helped us build such a compelling fleet offering and have shown true commitment to fulfilling all our customers’ needs, and our highly-engaged retailer network.’
