Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
- Lead positive drivers
- Irregular payment review trigger / Vehicle age remains within extension tolerance. / Payment arrears are raising servicing drag and treatment scrutiny.
- Primary blockers
- Irregular payment review trigger / 12-month extension elevated review / Customer-support treatment review / Policy review route requires validator release
- Required release
- Not required
| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extend 12 Months | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £6,761 | £23,667 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Re-Lease | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £5,129 | £22,035 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and irregular payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £4,323 | £21,230 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Baseline / Current Plan | Approval required / Validator | £0 | £16,906 | Digital Retail Disposal is commercially credible for this suv case, but current Digital Retail headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Trade Sale | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,221 | £15,685 | Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this suv case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,880 | £15,026 | Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this suv case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£2,275 | £14,631 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
