No, as you are using the Motability scheme the vehicle remains the property of the Motability Operations.
At the end of your lease you have 3 options:
1) Lease another new car through the Motability scheme
2) Expand the lease keeping your current car longer than 3 years
3) Return your car, your allowance will be reinstated to you
