| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £3,721 | £20,216 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and stressed payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 12 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,943 | £19,438 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,859 | £19,353 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Digital Retail | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £2,106 | £18,601 | 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 | £735 | £17,229 | 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 | £16,495 | Auction is the fastest credible exit once mileage, condition, and time-to-clear pressure are priced into the decision. | - |
| Manual Review | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£446 | £16,048 | Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release. | - |
