-
Extend 12 MonthsPermittedApproval required / Validator£1,306£12,189
12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
-
Extend 6 MonthsPermittedApproval required / Validator£1,025£11,907
6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
-
Digital RetailBaseline / Current PlanApproval required / Validator£0£10,882
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 SalePermittedApproval required / Validator-£928£9,955
Trade sale clears the vehicle with stronger execution certainty once carrying cost and channel friction are priced into the route.
-
AuctionPermittedApproval required / Validator-£1,438£9,445
Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision.
-
Manual ReviewPermittedApproval required / Validator-£1,732£9,150
Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release.
