Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and clean payment posture remain inside tolerance.
- Lead positive drivers
- Mileage performance supports retained-value actions.
- Primary blockers
- No policy, approval, or treatment blocker is constraining the lead route.
- Required release
- Not required
| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | No approval gate | £2,632 | £16,367 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and clean payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 12 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,020 | £15,755 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £1,893 | £15,628 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Trade Sale | Baseline / Current Plan | No approval gate | £0 | £13,735 | Trade sale clears the vehicle with stronger execution certainty once carrying cost and channel friction are priced into the route. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£598 | £13,137 | Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£951 | £12,784 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
| Digital Retail | Blocked | No approval gate | £1,100 | £14,835 | Blocked by policy: Digital retail segment eligibility. | Blocked by Digital retail segment eligibility. |
