Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and watch 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 / Baseline / Recommended | No approval gate | £0 | £11,310 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and watch payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 12 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£429 | £10,882 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£459 | £10,851 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,033 | £10,277 | Digital retail is carrying the best net disposal value for this hatchback unit after timing, fees, and residual drag are applied. | - |
| Trade Sale | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,791 | £9,519 | 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 | -£2,216 | £9,095 | 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 | -£2,452 | £8,858 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
