He is BREAKING THE LAW, the mobility award has CLEAR guidelines with regard to motability cars etc.
Firstly it is NOT a motability car if it is 07, in our present year of 11, if it is it has already been bought, motobility cars are new, and last 3 years max, then generally taken back, there is a limit to mileage, amount of tyres you can have etc.
ANY car can be a motability car if you can afford the advance payment, there are ferraris, astons, lambos etc as motability cars, useful with the paddle shift!!
The AWARD of mobility allowance is for the LADY, the car can ONLY be used for her use or for errands etc directly for the lady who has the award.
He cannot justify it's use for his work travel, it's not allowed, if she had a job, she could get him to drive her and pick her up again.
She can even when getting dla for care or mobility work full time, for example people with amputated lower legs get mobility allowance and can work full time doing any job they choose and it does NOT affect your claim in any way, the government cannot take the award away for lower leg amputation, it is awarded for life, unless they regrow the limb!!
There are tow parts to DLA, the mobility component, ie how you get around, walk etc, and the CARE component, which has nothing to do with a car.
I know a "lady" loosely used word here riding around in a 11 plate 4wd as a child of hers gets dla mobility, she has chosen to forgo the weekly money for the 4wd, her choice.
If you think it makes you mad think how pissed off it makes genuine disabled people struggling to get what they are entitled to, some have to fight tooth and nail, some it gets thrown at.
