RAC Warranty
12 Month Warranty & Breakdown Cover
Our used wheelchair vehicles come with a 12 month RAC warranty
You can buy with full confidence from WavsGB.
Current wheelchair accessible vehicles are far more advanced than the mainly mechanical mobility vehicles from a few years ago. Vehicle manufacturers and mobility conversion companies are quick to incorporate new technologies into their vehicles to improve the driving experience and a quick look under the bonnet will show you how much things have changed over the years.
WavsGB are an RAC Approved Dealer so all of our vehicles come with RAC BuySure; a guarantee that every vehicle we sell to a private buyer has been prepared to the RAC 82 Point Approved Vehicle Standard and come with 12 months complimentary breakdown cover and 12 month Warranty from the RAC all included in the vehicle price.
The RAC warranty excludes vehicles which still have manufacturers warranty and WAV’s purchased to be used as taxis or as private hire vehicles.
12 Month warranty on our used wheelchair accessible vehicles
The Warranty from the RAC covers all makes and models of vehicle and can give you the extra reassurance that you’re covered and complete peace of mind in the event of something happening to your vehicle.
Once the 12 month warranty ends you’ll have the option to extend the term of the cover for as long as you feel is sufficient for your needs. You can extend the warranty up to 36 months via the RAC.
As you’d expect the RAC Warranty does have some exclusions. Click below to view:

Exclusions & Additional Information
With any used vehicle warranty there are a number of exclusions and points to be aware of .
A warranty provides valuable peace of mind when purchasing a used wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV), helping to protect you against unexpected mechanical and electrical faults. However, it’s important to understand that not everything is covered.
Like all vehicle warranties, there are certain exclusions and conditions that apply.
Warranty cover can vary between providers, so it’s always worth reviewing the policy documents carefully to understand exactly what is included.
If you’re ever unsure about what is or isn’t covered, our team will be happy to explain the warranty provided with your WAV before you buy.
Wear and Tear
In most cases, routine servicing, maintenance and items subject to normal wear and tear are not covered. This can include components such as tyres, brake pads, wiper blades, bulbs and cosmetic issues such as scratches, dents or stone chips.
Modifications
Modifications made to the vehicle after purchase may affect your warranty cover, particularly if they are linked to the fault being claimed for.
Accidents and Misuse
Damage caused by accidents, misuse, neglect or failure to maintain the vehicle correctly will not usually be covered.
Servicing
To keep your warranty valid, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended servicing schedule and keep records of any maintenance or repairs carried out. Failure to do so could result in a claim being declined.
Diagnostics
A diagnostic fee may initially be charged by the garage to find the reported fault. If a fault is found this charge is usually waived. If no fault is found the diagnostic is payable
Garage Charges
The RAC will pay up to £65 per hour* for any approved work to be carried out.
Any amount above this rate is payable by the customer. It is your responsibility to check the hourly rate before agreeing to any work.
