Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and clean payment posture remain inside tolerance.
- Lead positive drivers
- No positive ranking driver was recorded for the lead route.
- 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 | £28,495 | 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 | -£885 | £27,610 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£1,105 | £27,390 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£2,117 | £26,378 | Digital Retail Disposal is commercially credible for this premium case, but current Digital Retail headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Trade Sale | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£4,000 | £24,495 | Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this premium case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£4,995 | £23,500 | Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this premium case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£5,616 | £22,879 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
