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
- Negative equity escalation trigger / Residual pressure is compressing uplift on disposal and extension routes. / Payment arrears are raising servicing drag and treatment scrutiny.
- Primary blockers
- Negative equity escalation trigger / Policy review route requires validator release
- Required release
- Not required
| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £1,609 | £5,644 | 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 | £1,331 | £5,367 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £1,178 | £5,213 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £412 | £4,447 | Digital retail is carrying the best net disposal value for this hatchback unit after timing, fees, and residual drag are applied. | - |
| Trade Sale | Baseline / Current Plan | Approval required / Validator | £0 | £4,036 | Trade sale clears the vehicle with stronger execution certainty once carrying cost and channel friction are priced into the route. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£366 | £3,670 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£249 | £3,787 | Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision. | - |
