- Going concern
- 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 on the 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 company saw a decline in turnover from £17,364,722 in 2023 down to £12,957,743 in 2024. This decrease was expected due to the directors taking the decision to cease the sale of new vehicles in the middle of the year.”
- “The gross profit achieved during the year increased from 3.4% in 2023 to 4.3% in 2024, which returns the margin to the level achieved in 2022. The decrease in margin last year was partly due to stock valuation downturns in the final quarter of year, with some used vehicles falling as much as 10.5% and the value of electric vehicles reducing following the Government deciding to delay the date from which the ban on new diesel and petrol cars will take effect.”
- “The government's policy on electric vehicles also has had a significant effect on the business as it influences the type of vehicle a consumer is looking to purchase. In addition, government incentives can have an impact on the level of vehicle sales in any given year.”
- “There have been no events subsequent to the year end which materially affect the results for the year or the company's state of affairs at 31 December 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
