| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | No approval gate | £1,531 | £13,836 | 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 | £1,113 | £13,419 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £899 | £13,204 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Baseline / Current Plan | No approval gate | £0 | £12,306 | 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 | -£933 | £11,373 | 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 | -£1,446 | £10,860 | 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 | -£1,742 | £10,564 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
