-
Re-LeasePermittedApproval required / Validator£2,965£9,764
Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and watch payment posture remain inside tolerance.

6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
-
Trade SaleBaseline / Current PlanApproval required / Validator£0£6,799
Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this hatchback case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner.
-
AuctionPermittedApproval required / Validator-£334£6,465
Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision.
-
Manual ReviewPermittedApproval required / Validator-£509£6,290
Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release.
