Anyone know why secure tracker pro is £180 for one year but £710 for 3 years?

Because 'Secure Tracker Pro' is additional (not instead of) to the normal 'Secure Tracker' subscription (which is free of charge in year 1), in years 2 and 3 you're paying for the ST subscription costs as well as the STP costs.
So for £710 you get 2x years ST and 3x years STP.

Ah! I had not appreciated that!
So ST Pro is £180 per year and by my calculations that makes ST £85 per year. Or is there a saving in buying 3 years up front?
Interestingly I ran a insurance quote and was getting lowest at ~£580 without tracker (admiral) and ~£300 with tracker (AXA).
I'm going to be honest with you, and say that I've heard two versions of what the 3yr cost is made up of. The above is what my dealer discussed with me, but could not 100% confirm (because there was no pricing available for a normal 1yr cost. The second is this...
The car comes FOC with 1 year subscription to secure tracker which is normally circa £250, and the 1yr £180 for the Pro is the just extra hardware cost. So in effect the 3 year price for secure tracker Pro is 2 year subscription plus the hardware cost, but that maths doesn't add up to me.
I took the punt that £180 was nothing for the sake of getting the best tracker, and also future proofing myself for possible subscription availability i.e. if you don't order the pro, you won't have the hardware in the key and therefore won't ever be able to have 'Pro' system regardless.

I also checked the insurance you quoted - AXA.
The price with and without tracker was identical at £465, go figure.
The other one you mentioned was Admiral.
Price without tracker £497, price with tracker £482 - £15 deduction for the tracker.

Ok so based on either of these two options, the annual price of ST+STP is £265pa with the 3 year deal. I'm always up for paying in advance if there is a saving to be had. Surprised the dealers don't know the future prices. -

My quotes were based on a few weeks ago. I just redid them and oddly the cheap AXA quote is now £640 a year and no quote if there is no tracker (same as before).
Admiral is still £500 without tracker and £488 with (and is the cheapest quote in both instances). -

If anyone is wondering if they should get the Pro or Pro Elite, I can now safely advise the Elite isn't suitable!
I went out and bought an elite, but after getting it back this evening, itt's very loose and baggy on the wheel. The clamp around the wheel spoke is loose and leaves huge gaps, plus it waggles around the place badly due to the deep bend. I'm going to return it tomorrow.
I'm used to using a Disklok on my cars, which is nice and tight fitting. But my current small sized Disklok doesn't fit the D5 and nowhere has Medium sized Diskloks in stock (they're all on a national backorder due to COVID).
Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
