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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of projections of future performance and the continuing availability of appropriate finance facilities, the director considers that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. These financial statements are therefore prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The trading loss for the year and the declaration of a dividend of £625k resulted in the reduction in the company's net assets to £487k. Of the dividends declared, £550k was retained within the group by the 100% parent company, providing it with funds to acquire land and buildings from this company in March 2025.”
- “Trading conditions have been challenging in the period since the year end and the director commenced a process of simplifying the business. A key step in that process was the sale of the company's parts and servicing business in September 2025, which realised a profit of approximately £500k based on consideration receivable compared to the book value of the assets concerned. The business was sold as a going concern and employees transferred to the new owner.”
- “The new owner took occupation of the premises in Yeovil and the vehicle sales and rental business was relocated to new premises in Ottery St Mary, which are owned by the company's 100% parent company.”
- “The book value of the rental vehicle fleet and stock of vehicles has reduced since the year end through vehicle sales, and associated borrowings have also been reduced.”
- “In March 2025, the company transferred its freehold land and buildings to its parent company, Commercial Vehicles (Yeovil) Limited, at book value.”
