- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt about the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The UK retail new car market remained under pressure, with private registrations declining year-on-year even as fleet and Motability channels provided support. Supply constraints eased, increasing competitive intensity and pushing new car margins towards more normal historic levels. The transition to electric vehicles also shaped trading, as manufacturers adjusted incentives, stocking strategies and distribution models to balance supply with consumer demand in line with the UK's zero-emission vehicle mandate.”
