| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £4,070 | £24,242 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and clean payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £3,119 | £23,291 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 12 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £3,114 | £23,286 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Trade Sale | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £863 | £21,035 | Trade sale clears the vehicle with stronger execution certainty once carrying cost and channel friction are priced into the route. | - |
| Auction | Baseline / Current Plan | Approval required / Validator | £0 | £20,172 | Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this van case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£532 | £19,640 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
| Digital Retail | Blocked | No approval gate | £2,486 | £22,658 | Blocked by policy: Digital retail segment eligibility. | Blocked by Digital retail segment eligibility. |
