The read · computed from their figures
Mahle Powertrain Limited's H1 2019 filing put their average at 57 days against stated terms of 7–90 days; 39% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 30% took 61 days or longer. Filed 2 Aug 2019.
The direction is slower: from 49 days in H1 2018 to 57 now — 8 days slower across their last 3 reports.
That is 3 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Unless otherwise stated in the order, MAHLE shall pay the price of goods and services within 30 days after the end of the month of receipt of a proper invoice or, if later, after acceptance of goods and services in question.
Dispute resolution
All invoices are handled by a central shared services Accounts Payable team. Invoices are processed via an automated workflow dependent on whether the invoice is for goods or services. Where it is not possible to approve an invoice due to incorrect pricing or quantity etc., the receiver of the workflow liases with the supplier to settle the dispute. The receiver then returns the dispute via the workflow process to the Accounts Payable team advising the outcome of the discussion with the supplier.
Other information
The company operates a weekly payment run , therefore it is usual for some invoices to fall due between payment dates. These invoices would therefore be included in this report as being settled outside of agreed terms.

What a 57-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 57-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
