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
- Payment arrears are raising servicing drag and treatment scrutiny.
- 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 | £3,816 | £19,432 | 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 | £3,711 | £19,326 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,997 | £18,612 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Trade Sale | Selected / Baseline / Current Plan | No approval gate | £0 | £15,615 | Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this van case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£659 | £14,956 | Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this van case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,054 | £14,561 | 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 | £1,222 | £16,837 | Blocked by policy: Digital retail segment eligibility. | Blocked by Digital retail segment eligibility. |
