Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
- Lead positive drivers
- Vehicle age remains within extension tolerance.
- 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extend 12 Months | Lead / Recommended | No approval gate | £5,173 | £18,876 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Re-Lease | Permitted | No approval gate | £4,458 | £18,161 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and clean payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | No approval gate | £3,778 | £17,480 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Permitted | No approval gate | £1,073 | £14,775 | Digital Retail Disposal is commercially credible for this hatchback case, but current Digital Retail headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Trade Sale | Baseline / Current Plan | No approval gate | £0 | £13,703 | Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this hatchback case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£584 | £13,119 | Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this hatchback case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£927 | £12,775 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
