Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
- Winning rationale
- Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and irregular payment posture remain inside tolerance.
- Lead positive drivers
- Irregular payment review trigger / Auction fallback threshold / Residual pressure is compressing uplift on disposal and extension routes.
- Primary blockers
- Irregular payment review trigger / Auction fallback threshold / Negative equity escalation trigger / Policy review route requires validator release
- Required release
- Not required
| Route | Status | Release Gate | Delta | Value | Rationale | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Lease | Lead / Recommended | Approval required / Validator | £1,997 | £7,862 | Re-lease holds the strongest retained-value position while mileage, vehicle age, and irregular payment posture remain inside tolerance. | - |
| Extend 12 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £1,791 | £7,657 | 12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Extend 6 Months | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | £1,522 | £7,388 | 6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable. | - |
| Trade Sale | Baseline / Current Plan | Approval required / Validator | £0 | £5,866 | Trade sale clears the vehicle with stronger execution certainty once carrying cost and channel friction are priced into the route. | - |
| Auction | Permitted | Approval required / Validator | -£331 | £5,535 | 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 | -£504 | £5,362 | 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 | £574 | £6,440 | Blocked by policy: Retail mileage overrun ceiling. | Blocked by Retail mileage overrun ceiling. |
