AUTOSTRADA LIMITED
Company number 07170446 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Autostrada Limited demonstrates financial performance that is exceptional within the independent used car retail sector, with net assets growing six-fold over nine years and a FY2025 profit of nearly £1M on a capital base of ~£1.9M—returns that significantly outpace typical sector margins of 2-4%. The near-£1M cash position and 5.4:1 current ratio provide resilience uncommon for a 10-employee dealership, though the sustainability of these margins warrants scrutiny as the post-pandemic used car price premium normalises and regulatory pressures on finance commissions intensify. The significant increase in other debtors and the flat stock levels suggest strategic positioning that should be monitored for potential residual value exposure as the market cycle turns.
