Material uncertainty over going concern
Given this, the directors consider that it is not appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparation of the annual report and financial statements, and accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than the going concern basis, but still in accordance with FRS 102.

Significant events
- “In March 2025, the trustees of the Tenneco Automotive (UK) Limited Pension Scheme agreed to utilise a portion of the pension surplus (€1.3m) to provide a one-off augmentation of the benefits for a cohort of scheme members.”
- “In August 2025, production and modular assembly were moved to another Tenneco LLC affiliate. Consequently, all production, modular assembly and related revenue generated by the company ceased by August 2025 and the entity was sold to F-M Motorparts Ltd (a UK registered company), which was the company's immediate parent undertaking from this date.”

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
