This is a myth. They can approach motability and advise that the car is not suitable and opt for a bigger car if they have sufficient time left on their current award. Friends of us did this last year without any hassle. I suggest that they contact motability and inform them of their predicament. Maybe they will be pleasantly surprised. They will need permission anyway to fit a towbar.

The dealer showed them a selection of hatchbacks and the couple settled on a Fiesta, and then got down to deciding what colour they want, and the extras. At the end of all that the chap approached the dealer again.
"How big a caravan will it tow?" he asked...
