Cazoo Enters Administration Following Major Restructuring

Once valued at over £5bn, the online car retailer faces insolvency, impacting over 200 jobs and attracting interest from potential buyers.

  • Cazoo has appointed Teneo as administrators after failing to secure new funding.
  • The company has already cut more than 700 jobs this year and shifted to a marketplace model.
  • Assets, including its vehicle fleet, have been sold to various competitors to generate value for creditors.
  • Potential buyers for the remaining business include BMW, Motorpoint, Car Gurus, and Motors.co.uk.
  • Founder Alex Chesterman stepped down last year amid significant financial restructuring.
