KBRA UK (KBRA) assigns ratings to Motor Securities 2025-1 DAC (Motor 2025-1), a £609.3 million synthetic securitisation of United Kingdom (UK) prime auto receivables secured by conditional sale (CS), personal contract purchase (PCP) and lease purchase (LP) agreements (the Reference Obligations) originated by Santander Consumer (UK) PLC (SCUK). KBRA has assigned ratings to one tranche of the reference portfolio and one class of credit linked notes which reference the corresponding tranche of the reference portfolio.

As of the portfolio cut-off date of 31 October 2025, the Reference Obligations consists of 62,084 agreements extended to obligors in the UK by SCUK. The outstanding balance of the receivables is £609.3 million, of which 54.8% are CS agreements, 38.9% are PCP agreements and 6.3% are LP agreements. The Reference Obligations are secured by both new (33.2%) and used (66.8%) vehicles.

The transaction will initially revolve for 13-months in the absence of an early amortisation event, during which period the composition of the reference portfolio will be limited by defined portfolio guidelines and eligibility criteria. Following the end of the revolving period, and in the absence of a breach of a subordination event, the transaction will amortise on a pro-rata basis.
