2017 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · AMZ 1

A spotless MOT record across five consecutive tests, most recently on 20 June 2026, shows that the 2017 Aston Martin Vanquish has consistently satisfied the statutory safety and emissions standards without any recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures over a nine‑year period suggests that, at the times of testing, the principal systems—brakes, suspension, steering, lighting and emissions—were all within acceptable limits. At 4 932 miles recorded, the vehicle averages roughly 548 miles per year, an exceptionally low utilisation rate for a nine‑year‑old super‑saloon. Such limited mileage implies minimal wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, discs, clutch components and tyre tread, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged static periods. Components that rely on regular motion—rubber seals, hoses, bushings and tyre sidewalls—can deteriorate with age even when little distance is covered, so their condition should be verified independently of the MOT history. Although the MOT data contain no specific failures, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the areas most susceptible to ageing in low‑use vehicles. Examine the suspension bushings and ball joints for any signs of cracking, hardening or excessive play, and listen for clunks when the car is driven over bumps. Inspect the brake system for uneven pad wear, glazing of discs or any pulsation through the pedal, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, noting any dry rot, cracking or bulging that can develop irrespective of mileage. During a test drive, pay particular attention to steering feel—any pull to one side, vibration or looseness may indicate worn steering rack components or tyre anomalies. Observe the pedal response for any judder or sponginess that could reveal hidden brake or suspension issues. Finally, confirm that all exterior lighting, indicators and the exhaust emissions system operate correctly, as these were all cleared in the latest MOT but remain essential to overall roadworthiness.
