- Lead positive drivers
- Stressed payment manual review / 12-month extension age ceiling / Payment arrears are raising servicing drag and treatment scrutiny.

| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extend 12 Months | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £3,668 | £8,318 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Re-Lease | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £3,119 | £7,769 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and stressed payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,708 | £7,358 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Trade Sale | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £269 | £4,919 | 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 | -£131 | £4,519 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
| Auction | Baseline / Current Plan | Approval required / Validator | £0 | £4,650 | Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision. | - |
| Digital Retail | Blocked | Approval required / Validator | £721 | £5,371 | Blocked by policy: Retail mileage overrun ceiling. | Blocked by Retail mileage overrun ceiling. |
