Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making their assessment the directors have reviewed the balance sheet, the likely future cash flows of the business and have considered the facilities that are in place at the date of signing the report.”
Significant events
- “The principal risk facing the Company is the strength of the UK economy given the current inflationary and interest rate pressure that exists in the economy. The pressure on the economy, including the cost-of-living concerns for consumers have carried over into 2025 and may have an effect on the demand for new and used vehicles beyond 2025.”
- “New vehicle technologies and government legislation in relation to emissions and environmental concerns will ensure that new vehicles will remain relevant in contributing to turnover. However, to mitigate the economic risk, the Company will look to capitalise on consumer demand for used vehicles, while also focusing further on aftermarket services.”
