Used Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about choosing and buying a used wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) from FMC Cars in Kidderminster.
What used wheelchair accessible vehicles are available from FMC Cars?
FMC Cars stocks a changing range of used wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) from manufacturers including Ford, Citroën, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Fiat, Renault and Vauxhall. Current listings can include compact WAVs, larger multi-seat vehicles, automatic and manual models, and vehicles with different wheelchair seating positions and access systems.
Where can I buy a used wheelchair accessible vehicle in Kidderminster?
FMC Cars is based at 118 Franche Road, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, DY11 5BJ. The dealership serves customers looking for used wheelchair accessible vehicles in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, Birmingham and surrounding areas.
What should I check when choosing a used wheelchair accessible vehicle?
Check the wheelchair dimensions and weight, the available headroom, the number of passenger seats, the ramp or lift arrangement, the wheelchair seating position and whether the vehicle is suitable for the journeys you make most often. It is also important to check that the wheelchair restraints and other mobility adaptations suit the user.
What is the difference between a rear-entry and side-entry WAV?
Rear-entry WAVs are accessed through the back of the vehicle and can be practical for everyday loading and parking. Side-entry WAVs provide access through a side door and may offer different seating layouts, including configurations where the wheelchair user sits closer to the front of the vehicle.
Can a wheelchair user drive one of your used WAVs?
Some wheelchair accessible vehicles can be configured so the wheelchair user drives from their chair, while others are designed for a wheelchair passenger. Suitability depends on the individual vehicle and its adaptations, so check the vehicle specification and speak to FMC Cars about your driving and mobility requirements.
Do your used WAVs have ramps or lifts?
Used WAVs can use manual ramps, powered ramps or lift systems depending on the vehicle and conversion. Ramps are common on many personal-use WAVs, while powered lifts may be more suitable where additional mechanical assistance is needed.
Can I bring my wheelchair when viewing a WAV?
Yes. Bringing the wheelchair that will be used in the vehicle is one of the best ways to check access, internal space, seating position, ramp angle and overall comfort before buying. FMC Cars recommends viewing and testing a WAV to make sure it is suitable for the wheelchair user.
How many passengers can a used wheelchair accessible vehicle carry?
Passenger capacity varies by vehicle and conversion. Some used WAVs are configured for the wheelchair user plus a small number of passengers, while larger models can provide more passenger seats. The live vehicle listing shows the seating configuration where this information is available.
Are automatic wheelchair accessible vehicles available?
Yes. FMC Cars regularly lists automatic wheelchair accessible vehicles, alongside some manual models. Availability changes as vehicles are sold and new stock arrives, so the used WAV listings are the best place to check the current selection.
Do used wheelchair accessible vehicles need special servicing?
The base vehicle is serviced in the normal way, but mobility adaptations such as ramps, lifts, wheelchair restraints and related mechanisms may also need periodic inspection or maintenance. The exact requirements depend on the conversion fitted to the vehicle.
Can I part-exchange my current car for a used WAV?
Yes. FMC Cars accepts part-exchange vehicles, including standard cars, which can be used towards the cost of a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
Is finance available on used wheelchair accessible vehicles?
Yes. FMC Cars offers finance options subject to status. FMC Car Sales Limited is a credit broker, not a lender, and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FCA No. 671917.
Do used WAVs from FMC Cars come with a warranty?
FMC Cars states that its vehicles are thoroughly inspected and come with a warranty. For the exact warranty cover and duration on a particular used wheelchair accessible vehicle, check the individual vehicle details or ask the sales team before purchase.
Why buy a used wheelchair accessible vehicle instead of a new one?
A used WAV can offer strong value because the specialist accessibility conversion has already been completed. Buying from a specialist dealer also makes it easier to compare different vehicle sizes, seating layouts, ramp or lift systems and wheelchair positions before deciding which configuration best suits the user.
How can I find the right used WAV for my needs?
Start with the wheelchair user's access needs, wheelchair size and weight, preferred seating position, required passenger capacity and whether an automatic or manual gearbox is preferred. Then compare suitable vehicles in the current FMC Cars stock and arrange a viewing so the wheelchair user can check access, comfort and visibility in person.

Understanding Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
When selecting a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), there are several important factors to consider. Different types of WAVs include rear entry and side entry models, each with its own advantages. The type of ramp or lift is crucial, as well as the wheelchair tie-down systems and other safety features. Understanding these options will help you choose a vehicle that meets your specific mobility needs.
Rear Seated
The wheelchair user remains seated in their wheelchair in the rear of the vehicle while someone else drives. A popular choice for families and carers.
Ramp or Lift
Choose between a manual ramp or powered lift system for entry. Ramps are simple and lightweight, while lifts offer mechanical assistance.
Flexible Finance Options
At FMC Cars, we understand that financing a WAV can be complex. That’s why we offer flexible financing options tailored to your needs. Our finance department is happy to guide you through the process, providing information on available finance packages and eligibility. We also include example finance scenarios to help you plan your purchase.
